Breece Hall, the first unanimous All-American in Iowa State history, announced on Saturday that he is declaring for the NFL draft and will not play in the Cyclones' Cheez-It Bowl matchup against Clemson.
"Playing for Iowa State has been nothing short of a gift," Hall wrote in an Instagram post. "The last three years, this team has defined five-star culture and I could not be more grateful to be a part of that."
Hall, Mel Kiper's top-ranked running back prospect, rushed for 3,941 yards and averaged 5.5 yards per carry in three seasons in Ames.
