Chase Young officially declares for the NFL Draft

In an announcement that surprises absolutely no one, Ohio State edge defender Chase Young has declared for the 2020 NFL Draft. Young announced his decision via his Twitter account.

Young and the Buckeyes recently lost to the Clemson Tigers in the College Football Playoff semifinals, just a couple weeks after Young was in New York as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.

While there, Young was asked about his plans for 2020 and said he intended to return to Ohio State. The prospect of being the best defender in the draft and a sure-fire top-five pick makes this decision an easy and predictable one.
