Michigan defensive tackle Kris Jenkins says he's coming back next season

Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins made official his return to Michigan with an announcement Monday on social media.

Jenkins, who had 54 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks, posted about his return on the final day when players can declare for the NFL Draft.

“It has been my goal, my dream, to leave a legacy at Michigan, to help bring this school to the top, where we belong,” Jenkins wrote. Like other starters who announced their return to the Wolverines, Jenkins cited “unfinished business” in his post.

A week ago, leading rusher and consensus All-American Blake Corum, who is recovering from knee surgery, announced his return.
