Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux has declared for the 2022 NFL draft.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported as much Monday, noting the star defender will not play in Oregon's Alamo Bowl game against Oklahoma.
The 20-year-old amassed 49 total tackles, seven sacks and two forced fumbles in 10 games for the Ducks in 2021. He earned those numbers despite missing two-plus games with a left ankle sprain and playing limited reps upon his return against Arizona on Sept. 25.
Many analysts consider the 6'5", 258-pound Thibodeaux to be the No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2022.
