Derrius Guice declares for 2018 NFL Draft
Reinhold Matay / USA TODAY Sports
The loaded running back class for the 2018 NFL Draft got even more stacked on Wednesday as LSU star Derrius Guice announced he's skipping his senior season to turn professional.
Guice was one of the most prolific running backs in the country during his three-year career with the Tigers, leading the SEC in rushing with 1,387 yards for the 2016 season despite splitting carries with Leonard Fournette.
In his final season with LSU, Guice battled injuries but still managed to finish with 1,251 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns.
The 5-foot-11, 212-pounder is projected as a first-round selection in April's draft and will undoubtedly be one of the first running backs selected.
