WVU's Isdaner heads for NFL draft

WVU's Isdaner heads for NFL draft

In a surprise move, West Virginia fourth-year junior guard Greg Isdaner -- who started but soon after gave way to senior John Bradshaw in the Mountaineers' bowl game two weeks ago -- declared today that he plans to skip his senior season and enter April's NFL draft.

Isdaner, a 6-foot-4, 322-pound fellow from Gladwyne, Pa., started 36 career games for the Mountaineers. He was all-Big East last season as a sophomore, but failed to earn any all-star honors this year as both he and the Mountaineers' offense stumbled en route to a 9-4 finish and Meineke Car Care Bowl triumph.

NFLDraftScout.com forecast him as a fourth-round pick in 2010.

"I would like to thank Coach Bill Stewart and the entire WVU coaching staff," Isdander said in a statement released by the program. "I enjoyed my career at West Virginia and felt that having graduated in December, it was time to move on to the next stage of my life. I am confident in my ability and believe that I can play at the next level."

Isdaner's exit means the offensive line as of now returns only one starter next season, with rising senior Selvish Capers.
