Oklahoma Running Back DeMarco Murray had decided to return to school for his senior season. Murray rushed for 705 yards on 171 carries with 8 touchdowns in 2009. He has 2,471 yards and 35 touchdowns in his career.

"I felt I wasn't done here," Murray told ESPN. "I still had some things I wanted to get accomplished with my teammates and become a better player as well."

Although this is probably the right move for Murray, it comes as a surprise to some because of the injuries that projected first round picks Sam Bradford and Jermaine Gresham suffered this season, but Murray had another good reason to stay.

"I won't have to share carries anymore so I will get to play a lot more than I have here and be the guy," Murray said. "My mom wanted me to walk [graduate] as well."
