Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon says he’ll be done with college football after the Fiesta Bowl.

Blackmon, who’s widely regarded as the top receiver prospect in the 2012 NFL draft, confirmed to ESPN.com that he expects to declare for the draft in January.

I think it’s just time,” Blackmon said. “It’s that time to go. I came back last year to win a Big 12 championship, set us up for a BCS bowl and I think we did that.”

Blackmon, who had 113 catches for 1,337 yards and 15 touchdowns this season, is one of two Top 10 talents who have declared that the Fiesta Bowl will be their last game. Oklahoma State’s opponent is Stanford, whose quarterback Andrew Luck also said this week that he’s going pro.
