Chase Young declares for 2020 NFL Draft

Ohio State defensive end Chase Young announced Friday that he's declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft.

Considered one of the top prospects in college football, the junior will likely be a top-five pick in April.

The Heisman Trophy finalist amassed 16.5 sacks and six forced fumbles through 14 games this season. Young posted 30.5 sacks over three seasons at Ohio State.

The 6-foot-6, 265-pound edge rusher earned several honors for his 2019 campaign, including the Chuck Bednarik Award, given to the best defensive player in the country.

The first five selections of the 2020 NFL Draft belong to the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Redskins, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, and Miami Dolphins, in order.
