Following the advice of deposed Irish coach Charlie Weis, Jimmy Clausen has decided to forgo his senior season and enter this April's draft. Rated as perhaps the top quarterback in this year's class, he is believed to be coveted by St. Louis, Cleveland and Washington -- three teams that will conceivably pick in the top five.
Notre Dame wide receiver Golden Tate also announced he will enter the draft Monday.
