Wake Forest WR Greg Dortch skipping final 2 seasons for NFL draft

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest receiver Greg Dortch says he is skipping his final two college seasons and entering the NFL draft.

Dortch announced his decision Sunday night, a day after the Demon Deacons beat Memphis 37-34 in the Jared Birmingham Bowl.

Coach Dave Clawson said in a statement issued by the school that he supports the move and called Dortch "an exceptional player."

The AP All-America second-team selection as an all-purpose player had a team-best 89 receptions for 1,078 yards and eight touchdowns despite regularly drawing double-teams during his redshirt sophomore season.

He missed the final five games of last season with an abdominal injury, then missed the bowl game with a hand injury.
