Iowa State junior running back David Montgomery announced Monday morning that he will forgo his final year of eligibility at Iowa State and enter the NFL draft. Montgomery posted a statement on twitter Monday morning.

Montgomery leaves Iowa State as one of the most accomplished backs in school history. Montgomery finished his career with 2,925 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground. He also grabbed 71 receptions for 582 career yards. Montgomery also lead the nation in forced missed tackles in 2017 with 109, the most ever recorded since the stat began being tracked in 2014.

Montgomery is considered by most draft analysts as one of the top two backs in this year’s class. He has been projected as a first round pick by some media outlets.
