UF running back Dameon Pierce declared for the NFL Draft on Tuesday afternoon. Though he played four seasons with the Gators, he had another season of eligibility available to him due to the NCAA’s decision to not count the pandemic-affected 2020 season against players’ eligibility.
He finishes his college career with 329 carries for 1,806 yards and 23 touchdowns and 45 receptions for 422 yards and five scores.
Pierce, from Bainbridge, Georgia, contributed as a freshman in 2018 by carrying the ball 69 times for 424 yards and two touchdowns.
In 2019, he totaled 54 carries for 305 yards and four scores.
