Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree is expected to announce his entry into the NFL Draft in a 3 p.m. news conference on Tuesday, according to ESPN.
The report stated that two people close to Crabtree said he is expected to run his own pro day and he will attend the NFL Combine.
He also had a specialist diagnose the high-ankle sprain he suffered against Baylor on Nov. 29 to make sure it has been treated well, according to the report.
Tech coach Mike Leach said he has no knowledge of Crabtree's news conference, stating "that's all his deal and I don't deal into that."
Leach declined to reveal if he tried to convince Crabtree to stay. He said he did talk to Crabtree after the Cotton Bowl and left the decision to stay or leave for the NFL up to the redshirt sophomore.
"I just told him to make the best decision he can," he said. "I think it strengthens his position by staying in school, but he needs to make his decision."
Crabtree finished the season with 93 catches for 1,135 yards and 19 touchdowns. He won the Fred Biletnikoff Award in his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons, becoming the first player to win the award twice.
