TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State wide receiver N'Keal Harry will forego his senior year with the Sun Devils to enter the NFL Draft, he said Monday in a press conference. He has not yet decided if he will play in ASU's bowl game.

It was expected Harry would forego his senior year for the NFL as his draft stock has grown exponentially as the season has gone on.

In a tweet Monday, Harry thanked those who have supported him, saying being drafted was "something that I've dreamed about for as long as I can remember."

The 6-foot-4, 213-pound receiver has more than 1,000 receiving yards on the season and nine touchdowns. Additionally, Harry combines speed with his size. He has a punt return touchdown as well this season.

Harry started the year projected a second- to fourth-round pick if he declared at the end of the season, but now Harry is in the conversation to be a first-round pick and potentially even a top-10 pick.

NBC Sports has Harry going 13th overall to the Oakland Raiders while CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso has Harry going second overall to the Arizona Cardinals. 

Harry has been consistent statistically over the past two seasons. In his sophomore year, the receiver had more than 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns.

Harry will be competing for a spot in the first-round with other talented wide receivers expected to declare in Ole Miss' A.J. Brown, Oklahoma's Marquise Brown, Buffalo's Anthony Johnson and South Carolina's Deebo Samuel, among others.

If Harry is selected in the first round, he will be the first Sun Devil drafted in the first since cornerback Damarious Randall was selected 30th overall by the Green Bay Packers in 2015. He would also be the first ASU wide receiver selected in the first round since the Los Angeles Rams took Aaron Cox 20th overall in 1988.
