Former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who is widely considered the top running back prospect for the 2018 NFL draft, has signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports agency,
ESPN's Darren Rovell first reported the news.
Barkley rushed for 1,271 yards and 18 touchdowns this season in leading the Nittany Lions to an 11-2 record. He rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns in Penn State's 35-28 win over Washington in the Fiesta Bowl, and he's projected to be a top ten pick.
There's a good chance this will be the third time in four years that Roc Nation, which operates as a partnership with CAA Sports, represents the first running back picked in the draft.
