Oregon Ducks wide receiver Devon Williams has announced that he will forego his senior season and declare for the NFL draft.
Williams will also skip the Alamo Bowl in his preparations for the next level.
In the post, he thanked former Duck coach Mario Cristobal, passing game coordinator, and interim head coach Bryan McClendon and academic counselors.
Once a five-star recruit, Williams was considered the top athlete in the country when he committed to USC in 2018. In his one season as a Trojan, Williams played in all 12 games that season, catching four passes for 87 yards with a touchdown.
Williams then entered the transfer portal and it was thought the 6-foot-5, 207-pounder from Lancaster, Calif. was going to end up in Corvallis before settling on Eugene to be a Duck.
He spent two seasons at Oregon where he caught 50 passes for 843 yards and six touchdowns. Ironically, Williams’ best game was against the Beavers three weeks ago where he caught six passes for 110 yards and a touchdown.
With Williams opting out of the bowl game, the Ducks are suddenly thin at the position. Mycah Pittman transferred and Johnny Johnson III is injured. The top receiver remaining is freshman Kris Hutson and his 25 catches for 364 yards and one touchdown.
