John Jenkins has opted to forgo his final year of eligibility at Vanderbilt, will hire an agent, and enter the NBA draft.

“I’m very happy for John as he has chosen this opportunity to pursue his professional career,” said Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings. “This is something that he wants to do and has his family’s blessing. My role has been to accumulate information on where he might be drafted. I have given that information to John and his parents, and this is the decision they have made.

Jenkins led the SEC in scoring in back-to-back seasons at Vanderbilt.

He was an All-SEC first-team selection in 2011 and 2012
