Ohio State junior running back J.K. Dobbins has announced his intentions to forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. He announced his decision through his Twitter account Monday.
Dobbins came to Ohio State in the 2016 recruiting class. As the story goes, he committed without even visiting the campus because he knew it was the place for him. Buckeye fans, players, and coaches are happy he did.
He first made his presence known in the first game of his freshman season, filling in for an injured Mike Weber against Indiana. He announced his talent to the world on national television by rushing for 181 yards. He never looked back.
After a sophomore season that saw Dobbins split carries with Mike Weber, he took off this year more to have arguably the greatest season a running back ever has at Ohio State. His 2,003 on the ground in 2019 will leave him as the program’s all-time single-season rushing leader.
More than that though is the way that Dobbins carried himself in Columbus. He was always gracious in the post game, always quick to credit others above himself, and had a love for Ohio State.
Of course the way that he announced his decision was heartfelt and as classy as can be.
