Maryland linebacker Jermaine Carter Jr. will be back for his senior season

This was mostly a formality, but Maryland football now knows it’ll have one of its best players back for 2017.

Linebacker Jermaine Carter Jr. announced Tuesday on Twitter that he won’t be entering the NFL Draft and will return to College Park for his senior season.

After careful consideration with family it'd be in my best interest to return for my senior season to lead the guys one more time #BeatTexas pic.twitter.com/ZN7MOwL3eh

Carter definitely has a shot at making the pros if he has a solid senior season, but didn’t appear to have much of a chance to get drafted after this year.
