Not so fast!
Nothing we didn't already suspect, I wish him all the best.
Whoever @LSports_us is needs to find him a coach that can teach him to keep his feet while catching the ball and he could be really good.
Honestly I would be more shocked to hear that he's NOT declaring.
Wish him all the best. He gave us some great games. Most notably Ohio State!

Don't think hes ready for the NFL yet, but if a team is willing to pay him to learn then great decision

Bucky's dad says he is declaring.
Well, Bucky. It's been real.
Yep, go get that money Bucky!
Just... Just remember that you can get up and keep running after the catch in the NFL... haha!
Per Bitter, Bucky's dad has confirmed he has declared for the draff
Good luck to a great Hokie! I hope I can continue to root for him for years in the NFL. Love for one of the younger players will step up and play as good or better next season.
