Illinois junior DT Akeem Spence will forgo his final season of eligibility and enter April's NFL Draft.
Spence is expected to make his announcement on Friday. The junior entered the 2012 season highly thought of due to powerful hands and enough foot quickness to make plays in the backfield, but too often he failed to make an impact in games. The entire Illini defense struggled this season despite plenty of individual talent. We expect a second day selection for Spence, but an early third day pick is not out of the question if terms are concerned about his effort this season.
