UCLA junior Myles Jack, out for the season with a torn meniscus, has withdrawn from school and will enter the 2016 NFL Draft.
Jack, who has played primarily at linebacker for the Bruins, is a projected first-round pick in most mock drafts and a top-10 pick in some because of his athleticism.

However, UCLA coach Jim Mora has his concerns for Jack, saying the move is "very risky" considering the lack of tape on his star player.
Mora: "I think it's very risky to do this. There's a lot of speculation to ....where he fits."
