Auburn defensive end Stanley McClover is skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

McClover made the announcement yesterday.

He had 13-point-5 tackles for loss and eight sacks as a junior. He was credited with seven-point-five sacks in his last four games.

McClover says he made the decision after long talks with his parents, prayer and input from Auburn coaches.

The Tigers finished the season with a 24-to-10 loss to Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl.
