Ohio State defensive end Chase Young announced Friday he's decided to forgo his senior season with the Buckeyes in order to enter the 2020 NFL draft.
Young posted a statement on Twitter declaring his intentions:
Young enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign with 34 tackles, 10.5 sacks, five passes defended and a forced fumble across 13 appearances for OSU in 2018.
The 20-year-old Maryland native built off that success during the 2019 season to push himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation. He racked up 29 tackles, 13.5 sacks and five forced fumbles in eight games before his eligibility came into question in early November.
