UCF running back Kevin Smith, who nearly broke the NCAA's all-time single-season rushing record this past season, told the Orlando Sentinel Sunday that he is leaving the school and will declare himself eligible for the NFL draft.
That reverses his earlier statements that he would stay at the school for his senior season.
"I had a change of heart," Smith told Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi. "I'm doing what's best for me and my family."

That change of heart didnt take long.
-
dam don, where have you been?
-
wtf, i just moved into a UCF dorm yesterday, im only going to this school to watch kevin smith, now he's leaving, my life is over!!!
-
Devisating for UCF fans... but the kid deserved it. He is one of the best RBs in the nation. He was just going to get hurt with the pounding we were giving him.
The kid is going to be a stud in the NFL. I cant wait to watch him on Sundays... -
lol. did you transfer to UCF?
-
im not a UCF fan, but i hope it pays off for the guy. he deserves it.

They are predicting he goes in the second. Thats actually not bad for a RB.

Ray might be smart just to stand pat though, considering all the guys that have come out. -
But I dont think Rice would push Smith down... b/c I think Smith > Rice
However, guys like Stewart and Felix Jones are guys that could still declare that I think could knock Smith down IMO... -
I would much rather have Ray Rice. -
-
Just my opinion.:ffic: -
I am 99% sure both declared. -
-
I just LOVE Smith more... ;)
What aspects of Rice do you feel are superior to Kevin's? I actually think both are going to be in the same boat... in terms of needing a good performance at the combine... since neither have the elite speed others in this class will have... -
I would say its 50/50 right now he comes out, remember he says Brian Lenoard was his mentor, and he stayed an extra year to help the program. -
Honestly, had you just replaced "Rice" with "Smith" in that post... I wouldnt have even realized it. lol
Only thing is that RU had a better passing game than UCF... which took a little more pressure off Rice than Kevin got... -
jstew hasnt declared yet
i hope he does, im tired of seeing him run over beavers -
I see Smith going in the 3rd
