Key Texas Offensive Weapon Declares For NFL Draft Early After Season-Ending Injury

After missing the final four games of No. 3 Texas’s season with a torn ACL, standout running back Jonathon Brooks has reportedly announced a major decision regarding his collegiate career. 

Brooks, who suffered his season-ending injury against TCU on Nov. 11, intends to forego his remaining two years of eligibility and enter the 2024 NFL draft, he told ESPN on Thursday, per Pete Thamel.
