LOS ANGELES -- Southern California defensive lineman Leonard Williams announced Monday he will skip his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft. Williams has long been expected to forego his senior season for the draft, where he is likely to be a high first-round pick. Although Williams felt some reluctance about leaving USC after his first year under coach Steve Sarkisian, he announced his decision two days after the Trojans (9-4) ended their season with a win in the Holiday Bowl. This was a very hard decision for me, Williams said in a statement issued by the school. I love USC, Coach Sark and the coaching staff, my teammates and the fans, and I love the game of college football. Its hard to leave all of that. I know life is never the same once you leave college. But I feel like its the right time for me to go. I feel like Im ready. Im looking forward to the new challenge that the NFL presents. Nicknamed Big Cat, Williams has been a dominant defensive lineman for three seasons with the Trojans, racking up 21 sacks and 36 1/2 tackles for losses. Despite attracting constant double-teams from offensive lines in the pass-happy Pac-12, he was second on the USC roster this season with 80 tackles and a team-leading seven sacks, earning second-team All-American honours. The imposing 6-foot-5 end from Daytona Beach, Florida, was lured to the opposite coast by Ed Orgeron, the defensive line coach and interim head coach who left USC last year after getting passed over for the full-time job. Sarkisian was grateful Williams remained committed this season to the Trojans, who beat Nebraska 45-42 in the Holiday Bowl on Saturday. Williams was named the bowls top defensive player with nine tackles and a sack. We wish Leonard the best of luck, Sarkisian said. We know he will represent USC well in his professional career. He was a great player here for all three of his years. Just like all of our players, Leonard is a Trojan for life and we will always support him. Williams has drawn comparisons to NFL lineman Richard Seymour, and he figures to be a valuable commodity in the upcoming draft for his gap-clogging and pass-rushing versatility. Although he expressed conflicting feelings about leaving USC last month, noting he had never managed to beat archrival UCLA during his time with the Trojans, Williams realized he couldnt realistically wait for a fourth shot. Ill always be a Trojan, Williams said. Now, I get to be part of the great tradition of USC alums in the NFL. Im excited to see whats coming next for me. Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey .

Barcelonas potent attack led by Lionel Messi was held 1-1 at Levante, leaving the door open for Atletico to later claim sole possession of the league lead. But Atletico conceded a second-half penalty at home against Sevilla to also finish 1-1 and squander its chance to rise to the sole lead in the standings for the first time since September 2010. "We had a good opportunity, but this is a long race," said Atletico defender Filipe Luis. "Its very difficult to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona." Madrid trailed the co-leaders by five points two rounds ago, but while it has kept on winning-- most recently with a 5-0 rout of bottom-side Real Betis on Saturday-- Barcelona and Atletico drew with one another last round and have slipped again just past the seasons midway mark. Levante went ahead through Loukas Vyntras 10th-minute header, and its staunch defence did enough to take a measure of vengeance for the 7-0 thrashing Barcelona dealt the team in the season opener. Gerard Pique levelled for Barcelona in the 19th, but Levante defender Juanfran Garcia saved the visitors two best chances in the second half. "We were unlucky because we created scoring chances," Messi said. "We did everything possible to win." Elsewhere, striker Ikechukwu Uche scored his sixth goal in his last three league games to help Villarreal beat Almeria 2-0, while Getafe erased a two-goal deficit to earn a 2-2 draw at home with Real Sociedad. Far from the side that Barcelona humiliated in August, Levante lived up to its reputation as one of the leagues best defences by packing its area and largely limiting the visitors to long strikes that either crashed into bodies or sailed harmlessly wide. Joaquin Caparros side claimed the early lead when Vyntra rose up over Pique to head Andreas Ivanschitzs corner kick down and beyond the diving goalkeeper Victor Valdes. Pique made up for his slack marking by scoring an almost exact replica of the opener, jumping higher than a pair of defenders to redireect Xavi Hernandezs corner inside the far post.dddddddddddd. Messi, in his fourth game back after a long injury layoff, worked a one-two passing combination in close quarters with Cesc Fabregas to manufacture Barcelonas best chance in the 59th, but goalkeeper Keylor Navas saved Messis shot. Garcia was well positioned to block Xavis follow-up attempt, and three minutes later the centre back used his foot to turn away Messis goal-bound strike. Barcelonas frustrating night was summed up when Fabregas violently struck the dugout cover after coach Gerardo Martino replaced him with Sergio Roberto in the 73rd. With Neymar and Andres Iniesta both unavailable due to injury, Martino turned to Cristian Tello and B-team forward Jean Dongou as late substitutes. But Navas palmed Tellos late attempt wide to protect the point. "In our first meeting (with Barcelona) it felt like a tribute game to Neymar in his debut," Caparros said. "My team has changed a lot because you cant make a team in a day, not even in two or four months." Atletico started brightly when David Villa rifled in a clearance by Sevilla goalkeeper Antonio "Beto" Bastos in the 18th at Vicente Calderon Stadium. But Atletico didnt seriously threaten to extend its advantage and it was undone when defender Juanfran Torres pulled Sevilla striker Carlos Bacca down by his shirt in the area. Ivan Rakitic fired the spot kick into the corner of the net, just out of the reach of goalie Thibaut Courtois for the 73rd-minute equalizer. Sevilla finished with 10 men when Alberto Moreno was sent off with a straight red card for a low tackle in the 89th. "The draw is a pity," Courtois said. "We knew Barcelonas result before the game. Its too bad. When you go up 1-0 you hope to keep a clean sheet and win the match. Its tough, but thats the way it is." Uches strike against lowly Almeria was his 12th league goal this season, tying him with Sociedads Antoine Griezmann as the competitions third-leading scorers. Villarreal provisionally moved into fourth place with its third straight victory. Athletic Bilbao can reclaim Spains last Champions League spot when it plays Valladolid on Monday.
