University of Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson has declared for the upcoming NFL draft.

In a post on X addressed to Hawkeye Nation, the junior said, “my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciation for the incredible journey I’ve experienced as a member of the Iowa Hawkeyes. It has been an honor to wear the black and gold and represent this program, this university, and this community that means so much to me.

After thanking Hawkeye fans, the coaches and his teammates, Johnson wrote, “After much thought and reflection, I have decided to take the next step in my journey and declare for the 2025 NFL draft.  This decision was not made lightly, but it is with great excitement and anticipation that I embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead….Thank you for shaping me, supporting me, and believing in me. Iowa will always be home, and I will forever be a Hawkeye.”

Iowa will learn their bowl assignment this Sunday.
