Linval Joseph, who anchored a defense that helped East Carolina capture back-to-back Conference USA championships, will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.
East Carolina issued a news release today saying that an announcement by the NFL confirms that Joseph has entered the draft. Joseph was included on a list of 53 underclassmen granted eligibility for the draft, which is scheduled for April 22-24.
He met a league rule that doesn't allow players to apply for the draft until they've been out of high school for three years. He submitted a written application renouncing his eligibility at East Carolina.
A two-time All-Conference USA player, Joseph made 60 tackles last season, including a team-high 13 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. He totaled 143 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks in 41 career games.

Suppose you aren't an ECU football fan, like 60% of NC - how are you supposed to know what position this kid plays?
60%... didn't you mean 99.9%.
