Colorado State star wide receiver Rashard “Hollywood” Higgins is headed to the NFL, he announced via Twitter Wednesday night.
Higgins, a junior from Mesquite, Texas, is the third Colorado State player in as many years to declare early for the NFL Draft, following former Rams running backs Kapri Bibbs and Dee Hart.

This season, Higgins garnered first team All-Mountain West honors after catching 75 passes for 1,062 yards and eight touchdowns. In 2014, he became CSU’s first consensus All-American since 1995 and was one of three finalists, along with Alabama’s Amari Cooper and West Virginia’s Kevin White, for the Biletnikoff Award, given each year to the nation’s top receiver.
