According to this, he is gone...

That article twice questions Beanie's passion for the game.

See ya big guy!!!! Thanks for the memories and thanks for making Buckeye nation proud!

God it seems like only yesterday that we were buzzing about him making his verbal and he's already gone. Man it goes fast doesn't it???

Smart decision on his part. He will make some team (and their fan base) a happy bunch.

Best of luck in the league, Beanie - it was a delight seeing you play in S&G!

either way.....just make it stop.

Does someone hoping, no matter how improbable it was, really bother you that much? Since it's official now, your blood pressure can go back down to normal.

Going across the bottom of the screen on ESPN right now. Good luck Beanie!

 

[ysubuck]

Maybe he's just creating drama so that he can surprise everyone with an announcement that he's coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, like BIG Will Campbell did.

That was his only decision, IMO. No sense risking any sort of injury that could possibly drop you a few spots next year and costing you a ton of money. Now it'll be time for Boom to step up...

Best of luck in the NFL Beanie, can't wait to see you stiff arm an NFL LB on your way to the end zone.

vbet on where and who he goes to in the draft maybe?

 

[orko]

best of luck to Beanie. Time for Boom.

ESPiN is reporting it too.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells is giving up his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.

Wells issued a statement Thursday saying the move is in the best interest of his family.

Wells fought nagging injuries much of his career at Ohio State. After missing three full games this past season, he returned to rush for 1,197 yards.

But he saw limited action in the second half of Monday's Fiesta Bowl due to symptoms of a concussion. He finished with 106 yards on 16 carries.

In three seasons at Ohio State, Wells ran for 3,382 yards, fourth best in school history.

Rich Rodriguez must be jumping for joy...

and then sitting down for another shot of Wild Turkey at the thought of Boom, Jaamal Berry and Carlos Hyde.
