Texas A&M forward Tyler Davis will forgo his senior season and remain in the 2018 NBA draft.

Davis has announced his intentions to sign with an agent and pursue professional opportunities next season, whether in the NBA or overseas.

He averaged 14.9 points and 8.9 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game during the 2017-18 season.

According to many current projections, Davis is not expected to be drafted.

He is one of three Texas A&M players to officially exit the team this offseason, as forwards Robert Williams and DJ Hogg both announced their plans to sign with an agent and enter the draft. Williams is projected as a potential lottery pick.

Admon Gilder has also declared for the draft and has until May 30 to withdraw his name in order to retain his college eligibility.

In addition to the early draft entrants that are signing with agents, Billy Kennedy must also replace departing seniors Tonny Trocha-Morelos and Duane Wilson, who both played a significant role this past season.

The Aggies went 22-13 overall and advanced to the Sweet 16 before losing to eventual national runner-up Michigan.
