Florida State cornerback Levonta Taylor plans to return for his senior season, according to a report.

Dane Brugler, an NFL Draft analyst for The Athletic, is reporting the Taylor is likely coming back to FSU next season and that he played this year with a stress fracture in his back that was recently detected.

“Look for a formal announcement after the season,” Brugler Tweeted. “...Taylor suffered a stress fracture in his back during fall camp and it went undetected until an MRI a few weeks ago. That helps explain why he didn't look as explosive as his sophomore year film. Big time talent when healthy.”

Taylor entered the season with significant hype as he didn’t allow a touchdown as a full-time starter in 2017. Expectations were that he’d continue to evolve and sharpen his skills as a shut-down corner, but he often appeared rigid and seemingly lacked confidence as he surrendered several touchdowns this season. He’s been sidelined with a hamstring issue in recent weeks, and if the report about the stress fracture is accurate, it could explain the drop-off in production from his sophomore year.
