MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin junior running back P.J. Hill will enter the NFL draft, ending his college career third on the Badgers' all-time rushing list with 3,996 yards.

He finished last season with 1,161 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Hill was a great back whose numbers speak for themselves, Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said in a statement Thursday.

Hill and former running back Ron Dayne are the only two players in Wisconsin history to run for at least 1,000 yards in each of their first three seasons.

Also, the school said junior tight end Garrett Graham will return for his senior season.
