Kendall Milton went out with a bang, and his performance in the Orange Bowl will be a lasting memory for himself and Georgia fans.

Milton sent a message to Georgia fans on social media on Monday, and officially declared for the NFL Draft.

Milton received the Orange Bowl MVP honor after he led all players with 104 rushing yards and averaged more than 11 yards per carry. He quickly gave way to a host of rushers behind him as the Bulldogs racked up 372 rushing yards and averaged right at 8 yards per carry in the win.

Overall in the full 2023 season, Milton was second on the team with 121 carries for 790 yards while he led the Bulldogs with 14 rushing TDs.

Milton battled injuries throughout his career, and in 2022, he was Georgia’s third-leading rusher through all games, with 592 yards on 85 carries, despite missing two games because of injury.

He came on the scene in 2020 and saw action in 7 of 10 games, including a start against Florida.
