SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- A source tells Oklahoma Sports Sports Director John Holcomb that Justin Blackmon will return to Oklahoma State for another season in Stillwater.

Blackmon told a handful of Cowboy fans Tuesday in an impromptu autograph session with fans at the team hotel, that he'll be back next season.

It isn't clear whether he was simply saying it to fans or whether he's serious about a return.

Blackmon has consistently told media members he would wait until after the bowl game to decide whether to enter the NFL Draft and it's not an official statement from the star receiver.

Blackmon is eligible to leave after this season due to redshirting in 2008.

Oklahoma Sports will update as details become available.
