South Carolina’s ride with Jake Bentley has one more season.
The junior quarterback announced he’ll forgo the NFL draft and return to Columbia for his senior season. He’s already been a starter for 2 1/2 seasons and will get a chance to put a final cap on a long, sometimes tumultuous Gamecocks career.
ESPN’s Todd McShay projected Bentley as a second- or third-round player in the 2019 draft, but also said he should return to school.
Bentley’s journey in Columbia has had its share of ups and downs.
