Rutgers is losing its leading rusher from each of the last three seasons.
Isaih Pacheco announced via Twitter on Tuesday that he will be declaring for the 2022 NFL Draft. Pacheco has one year of eligibility left but will forego the 2022 season to enter his name into the draft. Unlike basketball, a player is unable to return once he decides to make the jump to the next level in football.
“I am beyond grateful for my experiences at Rutgers University. To be able to stay home and represent my home state was truly a dream come true,” Pacheco wrote.
