Kendrick Green declares for NFL Draft

Kendrick Green is heading to the next level.

One of the nation’s best offensive lineman announced Tuesday that he will enter the NFL Draft.

Green was a 2020 USA Today Second Team All-American and a consensus First Team All-Big Ten pick.

“It has been an honor to wear the Orange & Blue for the last four years and be a part of the Fighting Illini family. The memories we have made will last forever,” Green said in a statement. “I want to thank all my family and friends in Peoria for getting me here. Without all of their support, I would not be where I am today.
