Oklahoma State football: Chuba Hubbard to return for 2020 season

Oklahoma State star running back Chuba Hubbard will return for his redshirt junior season rather than enter the 2020 NFL Draft.

OSU fans became increasingly optimistic earlier this month Hubbard — a Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada native — would return after several athletic department staff members, and football coaches and players tweeted emojis and images of the Canadian flag.

Hubbard ran for an FBS-best 2,094 rushing yards — second only in OSU history to Barry Sanders’ 1988 total of 2,850. Hubbard scored 21 touchdowns and averaged 6.4 yards per rush attempt.
