LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) – Benny Snell, Kentucky’s stand out running back, has declared for the NFL Draft.

Snell released a video on Twitter, thanking Big Blue Nation for their support. The junior has had accolades pouring in the last weeks of the season. He is the second highest leading rusher in UK school history.

“There comes a time when you have to leave home to build a life of your own,” Snell says in his post.

He will play for the Wildcats in the Citrus Bowl.
