PROVO, Utah (AP) - BYU running back Harvey Unga says he's staying for his final season.

Unga is already the Cougars' career rushing leader with 3,455 yards in three seasons. He issued a statement Thursday saying he will not declare for the NFL draft.

Unga led the Mountain West Conference in rushing last fall with 1,087 yards. He is the first BYU player to rush for 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.
