John Jenkins has bypassed his senior season at Vanderbilt University and will opt for the NBA draft.

Former Station Camp High School and current Vanderbilt University standout basketball player John Jenkins announced Monday he will forego his senior season with the Commodores and enter June’s National Basketball Association draft.

“This was a very difficult decision for my family and I to make, but I am ready to dedicate myself fully to achieving my dream of playing in the NBA,” said Jenkins, in a statement released on Vanderbilt University’s official web site. “The last three years have been the time of my life, and I will always cherish my time at Vanderbilt and the relationships I have made along the way.”
