Georgia running back D'Andre Swift clarified Tuesday he hasn't declared for the 2020 NFL Draft, correcting previous reports.

Offensive linemen Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson officially announced their intentions to enter the draft.

Swift has rushed for 1,216 yards and seven touchdowns in 2019. The junior is widely expected to turn pro, according to ESPN's Alex Scarborough, and could become the fifth running back drafted out of Georgia since 2015.

Swift has averaged 6.2 yards per carry this year en route to his second career 1,000-yard season, featuring heavily in the Bulldogs' offense after splitting carries with Elijah Holyfield during his sophomore campaign.

Thomas, selected to the All-SEC first team after starting all 13 games at left tackle, is projected to be an early first-round selection in the draft.

Wilson appeared in 25 games over the past two years and leaves Georgia as a redshirt sophomore.
