Ohio State RB Trey Sermon declares for 2021 NFL Draft

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 1/17/21

Trey Sermon transferred from Oklahoma to Ohio State for the 2020 college football season. On Sunday, he announced his career with the Buckeyes is over after just one season.

The star running back announced via social media that he has declared for the 2021 NFL Draft. Like many seniors, Sermon had a decision to make because the NCAA decided that the 2020 season did not count toward a player's eligibility.
