Junior running back Kylin Hill said Thursday he will leave Mississippi State after the Music City Bowl to enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
“After much prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided it is time for the next chapter in my life and football career,” Hill posted on Twitter. “… I look forward to continuing to chase my lifelong dream of playing on Sundays.”
Hill also confirmed he would represent the Bulldogs (6-6) one last time against Louisville (7-5) in Nashville on Dec. 30.
Hill leads the Southeastern Conference with 1,347 rushing yards on 235 carries. He has rushed for 10 touchdowns and eclipsed the 100-yard mark eight times in 12 games this season, including a career-high 234 yards in a Nov. 2 win at Arkansas.
Hill’s three-year totals with Mississippi State include 430 rushes for 2,474 yards (5.8-yard average) and 16 TDs, plus 43 catches for 388 yards and five scores.
