MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia is losing its top receiver to the NFL draft but its leading rusher plans to return.
Junior 1,000-yard rusher Justin Crawford indicated in a Wednesday night tweet that he plans to remain in school for his final season:
I will wear that old gold and blue for one more amazing year of my life.

With Texas All-American D’Onta Foreman and Oklahoma’s tandem of Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine among 18 underclassmen running backs entering the draft, Crawford would stand as the Big 12’s top returning rusher next season.
