Andre Cisco has opted out of the rest of the 2020 college football season and has declared for the 2021 NFL Draft, he announced Tuesday night on Twitter. Syracuse’s junior safety injured his ACL in pregame warm-ups three weeks ago, and head coach Dino Babers ruled him out for the season.

“(Entering the NFL Draft) is something I have been dreaming of since I was 8 years old, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity, even under the unfortunate circumstances,” Cisco says in the video.
