Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey announced Monday that he will sit out the Cardinal's meeting with North Carolina in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 30, officially ending his college career.
McCaffrey, the second-eldest son of Lisa McCaffrey and former Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey, announced earlier this month that he will forgo his senior season at Stanford and enter the 2017 NFL draft.
"Very tough decision, but I have decided not to play in the Sun Bowl so I can begin my draft prep immediately," he tweeted. "Thx to all my teammates for their 100% support — It means a lot to me.
