Penn State EDGE rusher Yetur Gross-Matos has declared for the 2020 NFL draft.
The dominant pass rusher announced his decision through Twitter on Tuesday.
Gross-Matos had 13.5 tackles for loss and 8 sacks for the Nittany Lions in 2019. He first broke out onto the national radar last season when he posted a whopping 20 tackles for loss to go along with 8 sacks in 13 games. His performance saw him named to the preseason Bednarik Award watch list.
“I will always be grateful to have formed the amazing relationships here at Penn State with my classmates, teammates and staff that will last me a lifetime,” Gross-Matos said in his statement. “Lastly, I would like to thank the Penn State fans. The love in Beaver Stadium has been ridiculous and will never be forgotten.”
His decision comes as no surprise, as he has been seen by many as one of the most feared pass rushers in all of college football. His 6-foot-5, 264-pound frame and impressive athleticism has piqued the interest of draft analysts and NFL teams alike.
Gross-Matos’s physical tools and upside will likely see him get selected in the first round come April.
