Oregon State wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has declared for the 2020 NFL draft.

The wideout announced his decision through Twitter on Tuesday.

Hodgins had a breakout season in 2019. He finished the year with 86 catches, 1,171 yards and an impressive 13 touchdowns for the  in 2019. He first broke out onto the national radar last season when he caught 59 passes for 876 yards and five touchdowns. Simply put, Hodgins has gotten better with each passing year. His performance saw him named to the 2019 Biletnikoff Award watch list and to the 2019 preseason All-Pac-12 second team.

“Being a man of faith, this decision has taken a lot of prayer and trust in God,” Hodgins said in his statement. “I have fallen in love with Oregon State these past three years, and I will always cherish the relationships I have created here.”

His decision comes as no surprise, as Hodgins put up some eye popping numbers this season. Hodgins is one of the most impressive physical specimens in a class loaded with talent at the position. His 6-foot-2, 220-pound frame and impressive athleticism has piqued the interest of draft analysts and NFL teams alike. His play strength, speed and vision as a ball carrier after the catch project him as a dangerous threat at the next level.

Hodgins is a big receiver that understands how to use his length to his advantage. His continued improvement, physical tools and upside will likely make for an interesting conversation around league circles come April.
