Heisman Trophy finalist and projected top 2020 NFL draft pick Chase Young has yet to declare whether he's leaving school for the pros.

Caught on the streets of New York by TMZ's cameras ahead of Saturday's Heisman announcement, the junior defensive end was asked if he'd return to Ohio State for his senior season.

"That's the plan," Young said, adding that he hasn't even thought about the NFL draft.

Young is widely considered to be the first non-quarterback to be selected in April's draft. He would be eschewing the riches that come with being a top-three pick if he were to return to Columbus in the fall.

The 20-year-old led the nation in sacks with 16.5 despite missing two games due to a suspension for an NCAA rule violation.
