Forget the NFL. Michigan's leading rusher returning for senior year

ANN ARBOR, MI - It looks like the Wolverine's leading rusher this past season has some unfinished business on the football field.

Michigan running back Karan Higdon says forget the NFL, for now. He's returning for his senior season.

The Free Press says Higdon confirmed his decision to the publication via a text message. "After speaking with my family I have decided that I'm going to return for my senior year," Higdon wrote.

Higdon rushed for 994 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2017. He had a 6.1 yards per carry average, up .2 yards from 2016.
