Is Maryland WR Torrey Smith Heading to the NFL?

Terp Nation's best offensive weapon is preparing to enter his name into the NFL Draft, suggests Rotoworld, a fantasy website covering every nuance within the sports news universe.

More evidence that the website correct in their prediction comes from a recent feature by Eric Prisbell of The Washington Post that details the upbringing of Smith and a Tweet by Smith himself.

Purely speculating, when Smith chose to Tweet the trending topics to state his support of his head coach, he did so in a way that may hint to his future at Maryland.

Smith graduated this semester, and now that the head coach that has been by his side is being forced out by the university, there may be no reason for the talented wide-out to remain for another season.

Common logic suggests former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is the front-runner for the Maryland gig,  but Athletic Director Kevin Anderson stated there was no leading candidate and the firm he assigned would conduct a nationwide search.

Leach has produced wide receiver talents like Wes Welker and Michael Crabtree, and could help elevate Smith's statistics into out of this world numbers in his fast-paced, high-scoring Air Raid offense.

Smith has yet to make an official announce on his future, but is expected to do so after this Wednesday's Military Bowl at RFK Stadium against East Carolina. The deadline to declare for the N.F.L. Draft is Jan. 15.
