A Nebraska running back has declared for the NFL draft.

A Nebraska running back declared for the NFL draft. Anthony Grant posted the announcement on social media on Saturday afternoon.

First and foremost, I would like to thank the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for all that they have done for me. Bringing me as one of their own. Taking the time to help me elevate as a player and also a person. I couldn’t thank you all anymore, from the coaching staff to the academic staff.

I appreciate everyone who’ve invested their time in helping grow as an athlete and as a man throughout my time here. I have built some relationships and bonds that I will never forget and will also have a special place in my heart for all the years to come. I love you all.

I will forever be a Nebraska Cornhusker and with that being said I’m officially declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Grant spent the last two years at Nebraska after starting his career at Florida State. In 23 games as a Husker, he ran for 1,328 yards and nine touchdowns.

His best season came in 2022 when he ran for 915 yards and six touchdowns. Grant had a reduced role in 2023 due to issues with fumbling.
