Iowa State receiver Hakeem Butler will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.
“It was a very tough decision to move on to the next level and just leave behind all my friends and knowing I could have spent another year with them or played another year in college,” Butler told Birch. “It’s tough. It’s time to get into the real world and be a man I guess.”
Butler made 60 catches for a school-record 1,318 yards and nine touchdowns this season.
The redshirt junior caught 110 passes for 2,149 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career at Iowa State.
