Auburn RB Tank Bigsby declares for NFL draft

Auburn running back Tank Bigsby, who ranks seventh all-time in rushing yards at the school, declared for the 2023 NFL Draft on Monday.

Bigsby made the announcement on his Instagram page.

"I valued the opportunity to run out of the tunnel and play in game environments at Jordan-Hare Stadium that was absolutely electrifying that words can't describe," Bigsby wrote. "Shoutout to the Auburn nation and fans for your continuous support throughout my 3 years at Auburn."

Bigsby becomes the fourth Auburn player to declare so far, joining linebacker Derick Hall, defensive end Colby Wooden and linebacker Owen Pappoe.

ESPN rates Bigsby as the ninth-best running back in the 2023 draft class.

Bigsby ran for 970 yards and 10 touchdowns this past season, a turbulent one on the Plains. He finishes with 2,903 rushing yards and 25 TDs, good for eighth all-time in Auburn history.
