Declares for 2018 NFL Draft
Hurst will forgo his senior season and enter the 2018 NFL Draft, Josh Kendall of The State reports.
ANALYSIS
The former minor league baseball player turned First Team All-SEC tight end will head to the NFL. Hurst (6-5, 250) will likely be needled for his age as he'll be a 24-year-old rookie, but he's shown massive amounts of potential and improvement in each of his three seasons at South Carolina. He reeled in 41 of 54 targets for 518 yards (9.59 YPT) and two touchdowns this season, showing marked improvement as a pass-catcher after snagging 48 of 82 targets in 2016. Hurst enters the draft as one of the top tight end prospects and he could be ready to contribute as a rookie.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Hurst is a former baseball prospect who returned to the football field after a few years away, giving him a bit of an advantage over his competition due to his advanced age. Hurst looks like a good player anyway, but turning 24 in August certainly helps a bit. After all, he made an impact last year that sophomore tight ends normally can't in the SEC, catching 48 passes for 616 yards and a touchdown. The 6-5, 250-pound target should see his production improve as sophomore quarterback Jake Bentley builds on his promising 2016 debut.
