This past season, the junior took home the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's best defensive back. He was also named a consensus All-American and a first-team All-American.
In 14 games, Delpit recorded 65 total tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, nine passes defensed, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
He posted six tackles and a sack in Monday's national championship game victory over Clemson.
The 6-foot-3, 203-pound defensive back is widely projected to be an early first-round pick in April's draft.
