The talk prior to the NFL draft advisory board grades coming back was that the two DTs and Jackson were leaning towards entering the draft early, but it looks like there could be good news coming for Canes.
Sources tell Canesinsight that junior cornerback Michael Jackson will stay for his senior season.
Although R.J. McIntosh said yesterday that the committee advised him to return to school, he is still heavily considering entering the draft. I’m told that McIntosh received his grade from 6 teams — 4 of which had him in the 3rd-4th round range and 2 that had him getting drafted in the 1st-2nd round range. The committee advises any prospect whose grade does not average out to a first or second round pick to return to school, so that is where McIntosh stands.
However, Kendrick Norton, who most inside the program thought was headed to the league, did not receive a grade that he considered satisfactory — the latest talk is that he will return for his senior senior as well.
So to recap, it still appears that McIntosh leaves early, but Norton and Jackson will come back for their senior years.
