After a record-setting junior season that resulted in a No. 8 finish in the Heisman Trophy vote, BYU junior quarterback Zach Wilson announced Friday he is declaring for the 2021 NFL draft.
“To the greatest fan base in the world. Thank you for the three best years of my life," Wilson wrote in a statement. "On our own home turf, or on the road, there was no question that the Blue Wave would be fierce. BYU is a special place. I’m forever blue.”
In 12 games this season, Wilson completed a school-record 73.4% of his passes for 3,699 yards, 33 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
