It's official. Andrus Peat is leaving for the NFL, confirmed by the University. It's no surprise, but still kind of a disappointment. It would've been nice to have him as an anchor for next year's line.
The timing of his decision is interesting. Yesterday was the first day of classes at Stanford, so it's not too hard to imagine young Andrus sitting in a lecture hall and reading this third syllabus of the day, adding up the reading, the problem sets, and the papers, and setting it all on the scales opposite a million-dollar NFL contract. I definitely wasn't ready to leave campus after my junior year, but that was more because I was afraid of the real world. If it's your lifelong dream that awaits, the decision is pretty easy to understand. I wish him the best.

Please clear the field! The game is not over!
