Jared Goff is officially declaring for the NFL Draft.

On Thursday, junior quarterback Jared Goff announced at a press conference that he will be foregoing his last year of NCAA eligibility to declare for the draft a year early.

“After much deliberation with my family and close friends, I’ve decided to forego my senior year at Cal and declare for the 2016 NFL Draft,” Goff said. “I want to thank my teammates. Over the past three years we have been through so much together, I have formed life long friends with the guys on the team. … None of it would be possible without every single guy in the locker room.
