I hurried through BYU as fast as i could because i still had grad school to go. When i left, most of my friends were about to do one more year, and i had no idea what my rush was. In the long run, one year means nothing. If he's worried about the NFL, then declare now, he's already considered old for the draft. Otherwise enjoy another year at BYU because you never get that time back. Brian Kehl says this all the time.
