West Virginia's Grier returning for senior season

West Virginia received some good news Thursday, with quarterback Will Grier announcing he'll return for his senior season in 2018 and not enter the NFL draft.

"After much prayer and consultation with my family and coaches, I have decided to return to WVU for my senior season," Grier said in a statement. "There is still a great deal that I want this team to accomplish and I look forward to helping lead us to success in 2018. I am completely focused and looking forward to building off the success we had this year and want to do even greater things next year. West Virginia is my home, and I couldn't be more excited about the future here."

In 11 starts, Grier threw for 3,490 yards and 34 touchdowns in 2017, before suffering a gruesome finger injury in a loss to Texas.
