Quote:Often times there will be surprise decisions from underclassmen deciding to forego the NFL for another season on the college field. Andrew Luck did as much two years ago and word is a number of Cardinal prospects will follow suit and stay in Palo Alto for 2013. Sources say both of Stanford's talented junior tight ends, Zach Ertz and Levine Toilolo, are leaning towards staying in school. The word is linebacker Shayne Skov also hopes to return to Stanford next season if he's granted another year of eligibility by the NCAA. Skov entered the year with a top 75 grade despite missing all but three games in 2011 with a serious knee injury. He took a while to round into form this season and though effective on the field, insiders said Skov looked like he was playing with a "dead leg" at times this year, referencing the quickness he lost due to the knee injury.

I never expected Toilolo to leave, and I think Skov would be well served coming back as well and trying to regain his explosiveness before going to the NFL. But Ertz staying? Wow. Really excited to see what our offense looks like next year with Barry J, another year of seasoning for Hogan, and hopefully the emergence of some WRs.

If any of the guys have already made up their minds, they really shouldn't have.
Grain of salt.

Here's another grain of salt. A friend of mine (whom I'm trust 100%) met Shayne Skov's father before Friday's game. Papa Skov said that Shayne will "probably" return. He also said that if Toilolo here's good things from NFL scouts, he will likely leave. Again, grains of salt.

I expect Skov to apply for another year but to hear Ertz might come back is surprising. He should go pretty high in the draft. I'm not sure how high NFL scouts are on Toilolo though.
