Sunday is a day for celebration for Washington as Myles Gaskin announced he's remaining in school for the 2018 season instead of heading to the NFL draft.

The leading rusher in school history has accumulated a whopping 4,055 yards rushing over three seasons with 45 touchdowns on the ground.

Gaskin told Dave Mahler of Sportsradio 950 that he got "around a fourth-round grade" from NFL evaluators, but opted to return for his senior season instead of turning pro.

With quarterback Jake Browning and Gaskin returning for the 2018 campaign, Washington should be among the favorites to win the Pac-12 title.
