Maryland running back Anthony McFarland Jr. has declared for the 2020 NFL draft.
McFarland announced his decision through Twitter on Tuesday.
McFarland rushed for 614 yards on just 114 carries for the Terps in 2019. He first broke out onto the national radar last season when he rushed for more than 1,000 yards. His performance saw him named to the 2018 Phil Steele Second Team All-Big Ten team. He was a bright spot on a Maryland team that won just three games in 2019.
“After careful consideration and deliberation with my family, I have decided to forego my remaining eligibility and enter the 2020 NFL draft” McFarland said in his statement. “Reaching the highest level has always been a dream of mine and I can’t wait to seize that opportunity.”
McFarland will be one of the more elusive running backs in the 2020 class.
