Dobbins declares for NFL draft

Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins, who set a school record with 2,046 rushing yards this season, announced Monday on Twitter that he will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.

Dobbins ran for 174 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State’s 2923 College Football Playoff semifinal loss to Clemson on Saturday.

“Dear Ohio State, Thank you for everything,” Dobbins wrote on Twitter. “I’ve built relationships that will last me a lifetime at this great university. I’ve created bonds with my brothers on the teams for the past three years that will never be broken.”

Dobbins broke Eddie George’s school mark of 1,927 yards set in 1995.

» Oklahoma receiver CeeDee Lamb also tweeted that he will skip his senior season and enter the NFL draft.

Lamb, a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, had 62 receptions for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns this season.
