Heisman Trophy runner-up Bryce Love has decided to return to Stanford for his senior season, his father, Christopher Love, confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday morning.
Love, a junior from Greensboro, North Carolina, didn't make the decision until late Monday night. The deadline for underclassmen to enter April's NFL draft was at midnight ET on Tuesday.
He finished second in Heisman Trophy voting this past season behind Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield. He won the Doak Walker Award as the top running back in the FBS and was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year after rushing for 2,118 yards, second most in the FBS, despite missing one game and playing most of the 2017 season with an injured ankle.
