First USC Junior to Enter 2008 Draft

Southern California Junior OG Chilo Rachal will enter the NFL Draft. The 6’5,” 315 lb. Rachal proved to be a versatile recruit for Trojans head coach Pete Carroll, moving from Tackle early in his career to Right Guard, where he started in 2006 and 2007 (earning all-conference honors by league coaches this past season). Rachal’s size as a Guard projects very well to the professional level, and Trojan lineman selected in the Draft during the last few years have done quite well for themselves in the NFL. Good workouts could land Rachal as high as a late-Round 2/early Round 3 grade. Rachal is the first of what could be more Trojan underclassmen to declare for this year’s Draft.
