Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - Florida State pass-rush specialist Everette Brown has decided to forego his senior season and enter the 2009 NFL Draft.

The North Carolina native figures to be a guaranteed first-or-second rounder after logging a gaudy 13 1/2 sacks and 21 1/2 tackles for a loss this past season for the Seminoles, who finished up a 9-4 season with a Champs Sports Bowl victory over Wisconsin.

"In making my decision I took everything into account but my final decision was made based on what was wise for me at this point in my life," Brown said. "I grew up loving FSU and I truly appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this prestigious university. I will cherish the memories and experiences from my time here."

The 6-foot-4, 252-pound redshirt junior finished his three-year career at FSU with 23 sacks and 100 total tackles.
