COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jonathan Taylor ended the drama early.
Wisconsin’s All-American tailback, a two-time winner of the Doak Walker Award, announced Friday he is giving up his final season of eligibility and will enter the 2020 NFL draft.
The decision should surprise no one as UW officials expected Taylor to leave for the pros.
"I've been able to live out a dream over the last three years by being a Badger, and now I'm excited to dive in and chase another dream of playing in the NFL," Taylor said. "I made it my goal to help raise the bar here, and thanks to my teammates, my coaches and everyone that supports us, I feel like we've been able to do that.
