Junior running back Jaydon Blue officially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on Sunday, announcing his decision in a post on X. He thanked God, his family, the university and his coaches and teammates in announcing his decision.

Banks became the left tackle in Austin as a freshman and his play over the last three years has made him one of the top prospects in this year’s class. He won the Lombardi Award and was named an All-American during the 2024 season and should hear his name early in the first round in April.
