Colt McCoy had always said that he planned to return for his senior year at Texas, regardless.
And now he will, removing any lingering questions about where he stands next season.
"I'm coming back," McCoy relayed through a UT spokesman this afternoon.
McCoy has thrown for 3,400 yards and run for 500, one of only two players in the country do so, in leading Texas to an 11-1 record and Fiesta Bowl bid. He'll almost certainly be named a Heisman finalist and remains a strong candidate despite all the attention on Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow.
Late in the season, McCoy had mentioned getting feedback from an NFL advisory committee to gauge his possible draft status. He still could without jeopardizing his eligibility. But he won't have to worry about the draft itself for a year.
