Ole Miss guard Terence Davis has withdrew from the 2018 NBA draft and will return to school for his senior season.

Davis was the team’s only player to declare as an early entrant into this year’s draft.

All early entrants have until May 30 to withdraw from the process in order to retain their college eligibility.

The 6-4 shooting guard averaged 13.8 points and 6.2 rebounds in 27.3 minutes per game during the 2017-18 season.

Davis figures to be a key piece of the puzzle for first-year head coach Kermit Davis, who made the move to Oxford after 16 seasons at Middle Tennessee.

Ole Miss also returns two other double-digit scorers in point guard Breein Tyree and forward Bruce Stevens. The team also adds five newcomers to the mix, with Blake Hinson, KJ Buffen, Carlos Curry, Brian Halums, and Franco Miller Jr. all signed.

The Rebels finished 12-20 overall this past season, with former head coach Andy Kennedy resigning after 12 seasons with the program.
