Nebraska's Isaac Copeland Jr. will withdraw his name from the NBA draft and return to Lincoln for his senior season with the Cornhuskers, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman.
The 6-foot-9 power forward from Raleigh excelled in his first season with Tim Miles' team after transferring from Georgetown, averaging 12.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
With both Copeland Jr. and fellow transfer James Palmer Jr. opting to skip the NBA draft and return to school for their senior seasons, the Cornhuskers will look to build upon their 22-11 campaign, which was the program's best finish since 1982-83.
