Sean Weatherspoon coming back; Jeremy Maclin unsure
Sean Weatherspoon, the defensive player of the game in Missouri’s 30-23 overtime over Northwestern in the Alamo Bowl, said he would be back for his senior season.
He had filed paperwork with the NFL to see where he might land in the draft. His teammate and roommate Jeremy Maclin also filed the paperwork but wasn’t ready to commit to his return to school just yet.
“He’s my roommate, I think I can convince him,” Weatherspoon said, putting his arm around Maclin at the post-game press conference.
For the record, Maclin said he still had a lot he wanted to accomplish at Missouri but would sit down with his coaches and family and make the best decision. Jan. 15 is the deaadline.
Sure would love to see Mac back at Mizzou in 2009. Having Weatherspoon back is a good start for a beleaguered defense.
