We had a news-filled night Monday. Wide receiver Danny Davis announced his decision to return to the Badgers next season. Safety Madison Cone entered the transfer portal, and a report surfaced that offensive lineman Jon Dietzen is pursuing a shot at the NFL.

The most significant of the three is Davis, who started for the Badgers last season but only played in two games due to injury.

Iowa’s leading receiver declares for the NFL Draft

Iowa Hawkeye wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette announced earlier today that he is declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft

As the college football season winds to an end, many of the nation’s top players announce their decision of whether or not to enter the NFL Draft.

This year is unlike any other, though, in that every senior was granted an extra year of eligibility and therefore has the option to return next season.

So, instead of hearing seniors declare for the draft and only not play in their team’s bowl game, now these announcements have another full year of impact.

One of the first big-time decisions came earlier today when Iowa Hawkeye leading receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette announced he is entering the NFL Draft.

The senior led the Hawkeyes this season with 345 yards and 4 touchdowns on 25 receptions.

Badger fans probably remember his final collegiate play–a long touchdown reception capped off by a front-flip.

TheDraftNetwork currently ranks him as the No. 155 player in the draft class and the No. 20 wide receiver.
