Arkansas wide receiver Jadon Haselwood declares for 2023 NFL Draft
Arkansas Razorbacks wide receiver Jadon Haselwood will forgo his senior season of eligibility and declare for the 2023 NFL Draft, he announced via Twitter on Monday night. After spending just one year with Sam Pittman’s program, he will test his luck at the next level.
“I joined the University of Arkansas this year and it has turned into one of the best decisions I have ever made,” Haselwood said in a statement. “The amount of growth I’ve experienced here, as both an athlete and man, has been tremendous.
I am Calling all Hogs when I say thank you to my coaches, teammates and every fan who has made this season special. I also need to personally thank Coach Guiton, Coach Jimmy, and Coach Pittman for believing in me and giving me this opportunity.
I want to say thank you to my family for their constant support of me in every decision I’ve made throughout my football career. I look forward to everyone’s continued support, as it’s time for me to open the next chapter in this story. I am officially declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft.
Thank you & Woo Pig!”
Haselwood caught 59 passes for Arkansas this season, going for 702 yards and just three touchdowns. He previously spent time at Oklahoma after being a five-star prospect coming out of high school. Now, Haselwood will be hoping his talents translate well in the NFL.
