Christian McCaffrey is done playing college football even though Stanford has one more game.
The star running back wants to prepare for the draft and said he will not play in the Sun Bowl. The No. 16 Cardinal (9-3) face North Carolina (8-4) on Dec. 30 in El Paso, Texas.
"Very tough decision, but I have decided not to play in the Sun Bowl so I can begin my draft prep immediately," McCaffrey said. He thanked his teammates for their support. "It means a lot to me. Go Cardinal!"
Stanford receiver Trenton Irwin posted on Twitter: "The whole team supports (at)CMccaffrey5 in everything and anything. Hes been a leader to this team through the easy times and tough times."
