Raekwon McMillan joined the potential parade of Ohio State Buckeyes headed to the NFL draft early, making his declaration Wednesday.

A junior linebacker from Georgia, McMillan came to Ohio as a five-star prospect and lived up to the hype.He split time in the middle as a freshman when the Buckeyes won the national championship and held down a starting spot the last two years.

McMillan made the All-Big Ten first team and was named a second-team All-American in 2016.

Teammates Malik Hooker and Gareon Conley previously announced they will also forego the rest of their eligibility while offensive lineman Billy Price is coming back.
