From ESPN.com:
If Ohio State is to make a run for a third-straight appearance in the BCS championship game next season, some familiar stars will be there to help the cause.
Brian Robiskie, the Buckeyes' top receiver, and star cornerback Malcolm Jenkins will both return for their senior seasons. Jenkins' decision to return was reported by ESPN's Joe Schad.
Ohio State junior offensive tackle Alex Boone also told Schad on Sunday afternoon he will return for another season.
"I want a chance to win the Outland Trophy. I'm excited to have another season in Columbus," Boone told Schad.
However, the Buckeyes will lose defensive end Vernon Gholston, who told Schad he will enter the NFL draft. Additionally, Jenkins said linebacker James Laurinaitis and linebacker Marcus Freeman are torn about returning to Ohio State or entering the NFL draft, Schad reported.
Gholston would have been a problem with us losing both our starting tackles. James Laurinaitis' decision should also have a major impact, although I think he's overrated. I want to see the Buckeyes come into the Coliseum with as many returners so that it's competitive and there aren't any excuses after the game.
Update: James Laurinaitis announced today that he's returning for his senior season.
