Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson has opted out of the Rose Bowl and declared for the NFL draft, he announced Monday.
Wilson is a third-year player for the Buckeyes and a former top-20 recruit in the 2019 class out of Austin, Texas.
He chose Ohio State over the Texas Longhorns and played in 14 games as a true freshman, with 432 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
After his first season, he was fourth on the team in yards and receptions and put up 118 yards and one touchdown in his first rivalry game against Michigan. In just eight games during the 2020 season, Wilson had 43 receptions for 723 yards and six touchdowns.
He was named first team All-Big Ten as a sophomore and followed that up with 1,058 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranks Wilson as his third-best receiver in the upcoming draft and a projected first-round pick. ESPN’s Todd McShay has him going 20th overall to the Philadelphia Eagles in his latest mock draft.
