ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Shea Patterson is returning for his senior season at Michigan instead of entering the NFL draft.
The quarterback announced his decision Friday on Twitter .
Patterson plans to play for the eighth-ranked Wolverines against No. 10 Florida on Dec. 29 in the Peach Bowl.
The junior was voted Michigan’s offensive player of the year after transferring from Ole Miss and successfully appealing to the NCAA to play this season. He completed 65 percent of his passes for 2,364 yards with 21 touchdowns and just five interceptions.
Senior running back Karan Higdon is skipping the bowl game to focus on preparing for the NFL. Junior linebacker Devin Bush and defensive end Rashan Gary are also entering the draft and won’t play against Florida.
