University of Houston wide receiver Deontay Greenberry will forgo his senior season and declare for the 2015 NFL Draft according to a report from Anthony Galaviz of the Fresno Bee that was later confirmed by a school spokesperson. Greenberry’s move to go to Houston was surprising as the first 5-star player to go to the school, but this one is an expected one. He played three seasons at Houston, was productive in all three and has NFL tools.
