LEXINGTON, Ky. — C.J. Conrad will remain on the Kentucky football team for at least one more season.
The junior tight end announced via Twitter Saturday he will not enter the 2018 NFL draft.
"Proud to say I'm coming back for my senior year with my brothers," the 6-foot-5 native of LaGrange, Ohio tweeted. "Thank you BBN for your constant support and can't wait to help this program in any way I can!"
Conrad caught 16 passes for 286 yards and four touchdowns this season. He missed the Louisville loss and the Music City Bowl against Northwestern due to surgery in late November to repair a lisfranc injury to his left foot.
