The SEC’s leader in sacks in 2008 will be back in Garnet and Black in 2009.

Linebacker Eric Norwood has changed his mind and now says he will return to South Carolina next year and put the NFL on-hold for a year.

“I’ve been looking at some of the guys from last year who increased their draft stock by returning.  So I changed my mind.  I like the security that returning to school will provide.”

Gamecock fans will love this news.  Hopefully Norwood will keep his eyes on the college game for the entire 2009 season and not start thinking about the NFL midway through next season as some of his current teammates did this year.
