USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams isn't the only Trojans underclassman who will enter the 2015 NFL Draft.
Wide receiver Nelson Agholor announced on Saturday that he would be forgoing his senior season to enter the draft.
"These past three years at USC have been a blessing, along with a lot of my life. I am very grateful to have had the coaches and staff members of this prestigious university in my life," Agholor said in a statement posted on the school's website. "Because of these men and women, I feel prepared to follow my dreams into the NFL. Thank you to the Trojan Family for allowing me to become one of your own."
Agholor is a dynamic threat as both a receiver and punt returner. He led the Trojans with 104 catches for 1,313 yards while hauling in 12 touchdowns in 2014. He also scored a school-record four touchdowns on punt returns and has the ability to return kickoffs, too.
"All of us at USC thank Nelson for all he has done here," Trojans head coach Steve Sarkisian said in a statement. "He had an outstanding career and will always be a Trojan. We wish him the best and look forward to watching him at the next level."
The junior played sidekick to both Robert Woods and Marqise Lee during his time in Los Angeles but steadily improved to the point where he was the clear cut No. 1 option in the USC passing game during the 2014 season. His career year included a pair of 200-yard games in November and he posted a seven-catch, 90-yard game with a touchdown in the Holiday Bowl to close out his time in the Cardinal and Gold.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Agholor is a precise route runner with speed that will translate to the next level, even though he will need to improve his concentration after a number of uncharacteristic mental mistakes and drops in 2014. One NFC scout compared the wideout to Colts veteran Reggie Wayne, and NFL media analysts believe the comparison is an apt one.
