Running back Corey Clement was supposed to be done by this time of the year. He’d rush for an insane amount of yards, the touchdowns would pile up and the NFL Draft would come calling his name.
Instead, it all went horribly wrong thanks to a groin injury that turned out to be a sports hernia and then a fight that saw him suspended for a game. On Tuesday, Jesse Temple of ESPN.com is reporting Clement will return for his final season in the Cardinal and White.
Just talked to Wisconsin running backs coach John Settle. Corey Clement has told him he's coming back for his senior season. #Badgers

Clement’s horrible, no good, very bad season ended with just three games played and 29 carries for 155 yards and four touchdowns.
He said late in the season that he would likely return, but was waiting for a draft evaluation from the NFL before making his final decision.
Given the lack of production and health issue this season, a redo for one final go around in 2016 was an easy choice to make for the running back.
