Ohio State junior running back J.K. Dobbins says he's leaving school early to enter the NFL draft. Dobbins' decision was expected after a season in which he became the first Buckeyes running back to rush for over 2,000 yards.
He announced his decision , saying that “coming to Ohio from Texas has been nothing short of a dream.”
Dobbins finished the season with 2,046 yards and was a 1,000-yard rusher in each of his two seasons. He ran for 174 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State's 29-23 College Football Playoff loss to Clemson on Saturday.
He finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting behind teammates quarterback Justin Fields and defensive end Chase Young.
Dobbins ranks second all-time at Ohio State in rushing yards and has 43 career touchdowns, which is tied with J.T. Barrett for fifth all-time in school history.
