Maryland running back Anthony McFarland Jr. will forgo his remaining two seasons of eligibility to declare for the NFL draft, he announced Tuesday. "I want to start by thanking the great coaching staff and amazing fans at this wonderful University," McFarland wrote in a statement he posted on Twitter. "In addition, thank you to my teammates. You are my brothers and I am blessed to have made deep relationships with many of you that will last a lifetime."McFarland, a redshirt sophomore, struggled with a nagging ankle injury all season, but still showed his ability to generate explosive plays. He ran for 614 yards during the 2019 campaign without much help from the offensive line or a complementary passing game. McFarland recorded a season-high 134 yards, which included a 63-yard touchdown, in Maryland’s season finale Saturday at Michigan State. - The Washington Post
