Ole Miss junior tight end Evan Engram will reportedly hold off his NFL plans and return for his senior season in Oxford.

A much-hyped, Preseason All-American candidate, Engram struggled to live up to those expectations. The junior recorded 32 catches, 368 yards and two touchdowns on the season, despite playing in every game this season.

Although Engram failed to put up impressive stats, his 6-foot-3, 227-pound frame combined with his unique speed make him an intriguing candidate at the next level. If Chad Kelly also returns for Ole Miss, expect Engram to become a more utilized target on offense with the likely departure of the team's leading receiver junior Laquon Treadwell.
