Despite speculation that C.J. Stroud could return to Ohio State with a lucrative NIL deal in tow, the star quarterback announced his intent to declare for the 2023 NFL draft Monday morning.
Stroud made the announcement on his personal Twitter page.
“First and foremost, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with health, favor and opportunity,” Stroud began. “To my family, thank you for laying the foundation on which I stand. Through all the uncertainties one thing was always certain, our love for one another. Thank you for always believing and supporting me.
