LINCOLN, Neb. -- One of the top freshmen basketball players in the country announced Monday that he is leaving Nebraska after one season and declaring for the NBA draft.

Bryce McGowens announced in a tweet that he would be declaring for the draft while thanking his teammates, Nebraska fans and the Huskers' coaching staff.

A former five-star prospect, McGowens was voted Third-Team All-Conference and was named to the Big Ten's All-Rookie Team after averaging 16.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists for the Huskers.
