USC junior defensive end Everson Griffen said Saturday night that he will skip his senior season to enter the 2010 NFL Draft.
The Trojans defeated Boston College 24-13 in the Emerald Bowl.
"I've known for a while," Griffen said.
He is viewed in most draft projections as a late-first or early-second round selection.
"I'm ready," Griffen told ESPN.com's Joe Schad. "I know it's the right decision because I've talked it over with my coaches. I will bring speed, a pass rush and the ability to stop the run."
