Stanford's Adebo opts out of season, declares for NFL draft

Stanford cornerback Paulson Adebo announced Thursday that he will be opting out of the 2020 college football season and declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Adebo was set to enter his senior campaign after recording 38 passes defended and eight interceptions over his last 22 games. He was also named first-team All-Pac-12 during each of the past two seasons.

The 6-foot-1 corner is projected to be an early-round pick in the NFL draft.
