Canadian sprint sensation Andre De Grasse has gone pro.

The 21-year-old signed a pro deal with Puma, and will forgo his senior season of NCAA eligibility.

"Signing this partnership with PUMA is a major thing for me, in such an important phase in my career," De Grasse said in a release. "I have massive dreams for what I want to accomplish and PUMA clearly shares my belief, they will give me great support along my journey."
