Booth was a first-team All ACC player for the Tigers a season ago. He recorded 75 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 10 pass breakups, five interceptions, and a sack during his final season.

How this affects his draft status is hard to pinpoint, but he has been falling down in some of the mocks in recent weeks.

The NFL Draft is set for April 28-30, and will take place in Las Vegas.
