LSU safety Grant Delpit announced his intention to enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
This past season, the junior took home the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's best defensive back. He was also named a consensus All-American and a first-team All-American.
In 14 games, Delpit recorded 65 total tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, nine passes defensed, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
He posted six tackles and a sack in Monday's national championship game victory over Clemson.
The 6-foot-3, 203-pound defensive back is widely projected to be an early first-round pick in April's draft.
