Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon will forgo his senior year and enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced Friday. The 2023 Doak Walker Award winner is considered one of the top running back prospects in the upcoming draft.
“From day one, I knew I was in the right place,” Gordon wrote on social media. “The love, support, and family I’ve gained here will always be a part of me. … Now, it’s time to take the next step in living out my dream.

Gordon finished his college career with 2,920 yards and 36 touchdowns on the ground. He also caught 80 passes for 585 yards and four touchdowns.
