CFB: Georgia's Owens says he'll return for 2009 season
Associated Press
ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia defensive tackle Jeff Owens will return for his 2009 senior season.
Owens was considered Georgia's top defensive lineman and a candidate to enter the 2009 NFL draft as a junior before he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Bulldogs' season opener against Georgia Southern. He said Thursday he won't enter the 2009 draft.
"I'm looking forward to having a big senior year," he said. "This year, I played one quarter. If I came out now, maybe I don't get picked or I do and then get cut, and I wasted one college year."
The No. 16 Bulldogs are playing in the Capital One Bowl against Michigan State on Jan. 1.
