Vanderbilt freshman basketball player Darius Garland will enter the NBA draft and end his Commodores' career, he posted on Instagram on Tuesday.

Garland, a former Brentwood Academy standout and one of the top recruits in program history, suffered a season-ending knee injury in just his fifth game at Vanderbilt. 

On Instagram, Garland posted: "After considerable deliberation with my family and medical staff, I am withdrawing from Vanderbilt this semester to prepare for the NBA Draft. I will forever be grateful to Vanderbilt and wish the program much success for the remainder of this season and beyond."
