Ramczyk headed for the NFL
Redshirt junior left tackle Ryan Ramczyk announced that he will enter the 2017 NFL draft, joining fellow junior T.J. Watt in giving up his final year of eligibility for the draft.
Ramczyk is projected to go in the first round of the draft, which is set to take place April 27-29 in Philadelphia.
Ramczyk reportedly underwent surgery last week and could miss the NFL scouting combine which starts February 28 and runs through March 6 in Indianapolis.
California interested in Wilcox
University of California fired head football coach Sonny Dykes on Sunday. The school is said to be interested in interviewing UW Defensive Coordinator Justin Wilcox for the vacancy.
