FAU all-time leading rusher Devin Singletary declares for NFL draft

Junior running back Devin “Motor” Singletary announced on Twitter on Wednesday morning he is declaring early for the NFL draft.

Singletary, a Deerfield Beach native who attended American Heritage-Delray, finishes his college career with 4,287 rushing yards and 66 rushing touchdowns over three seasons. He is sixth on the Football Bowl Subdivision’s all-time rushing touchdowns list. A junior season in which he ran for 1,348 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns earned him second-team All-American honors by Sporting News on Tuesday.

“After much prayer and discussion with my family and coaches, I have decided to enter the NFL Draft,” Singletary wrote in a letter titled “Dear Owl Nation” that he posted on Twitter.
