— Jonathan Williams announced that he would return to Arkansas for his senior season via a YouTube video Wednesday night.

"Hey Razorbacks fans," Williams said in the 16-second video. "Got a big announcement. I've done some talking with my family and done some praying and I'm really excited about the 2015 season, so I decided to come back for my senior year.

"I just wanted to let you guys know. Merry Christmas."

The junior has rushed for 1,085 yards and 11 touchdowns on 188 carries this season, earning AP second-team All-SEC honors.

His 2,216 career rushing yards rank 11th in school history.

The decision comes after Williams had applied for an evaluation from the NFL Draft Advisory Board earlier this month.
