South Carolina wide reciever Ace Sanders announced late Tuesday on Twitter that he would skip his senior season and enter the 2013 NFL draft.

Sanders, who had 45 receptions for 531 yards and nine touchdowns this season, had announced Jan. 8 that he would be back in Columbia next season. But he apparently had a change of heart.

Sanders biggest asset may be his punt return skills. He averaged 14.8 yards a return, taking two back for touchdowns.
