Washington wide receiver John Ross has opted to skip his senior season and will enter the 2017 NFL Draft, according to multiple reports.

Ross, 22, caught 81 passes for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns and added rushing and special teams scores in 13 regular season games for the fourth-ranked Huskies (12-1), who lost to top-ranked Alabama 24-7 in the College Football Playoff semifinal in the Peach Bowl on Saturday.

He made five catches for 28 yards in the loss to the Crimson Tide.

Ross was named to the All-Pac-12 First Team and was a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist in 2016. He finishes his Huskies career as the school's all-time leader with four kicks returned for a touchdown.

Ross missed the entire 2015 season with a knee injury. He is considered one of the top receivers in this year's draft class.
