Florida Gators Carlos Dunlap and Maurkice Pouncey declare for NFL Draft; Mike Pouncey returning

GAINESVILLE -- Junior defensive Carlos Dunlap and junior center Maurkice Pouncey announced their intentions to enter the NFL Draft on Monday. Mike Pouncey will return to Florida for his senior season.

"I'm very excited to come back and wear the Orange and Blue for the 2010 season," Mike Pouncey said. "I'm looking forward to being a leader on the team, having the opportunity to play center and continuing to learn from coach Steve Addazio. It has been an honor to play here, so I can't wait to run out into The Swamp for another year."

Florida safety Major Wright said on Monday that he is still considering his options. Wright, a junior, is a three-year starter for the Gators.

Jo, maybe I'm just behind with the times but I was curious if Cunningham was considering NFL play?

Cunningham is a senior, so he's gone anyway

I think Major will go but it will cost him, he's not ready. Hopefully he thinks about this...the gators will be fine without him. I just like the guy and hope he doesn't go, to much to learn the last year. Much needed imo. Mike staying is huge for the Gators, show the kids how its done. With the class Florida is bringing in, they will be playing for championships sooner rather then later. Disgusting

Wright has declared to go pro but could reconsider before the deadline.
