Bearcats getting QB Ridder, DE Sanders back for next season
University of Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder will return to school next season.
Ridder, a redshirt junior who earned his degree in sports administration in December, announced on Twitter Friday that he will not enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
"Despite the obstacles and the ups and downs, this past season turned into everything we dreamed of," he said. "But there is still unfinished business. I'll be back in the red and black for my final season."
The 2020 American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year led the Bearcats to an undefeated regular season, the AAC title and a Peach Bowl bid.
