COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State offensive tackle Alex Boone says he'll put off entering the NFL draft for one year to play his senior season with the Buckeyes.

Boone says he wants another chance to win a national championship.

Ohio State lost to LSU 38-24 on January 7th -- the second straight year the Buckeyes came up short in the BCS title game.

The 6-foot-8, 320-pound Boone also says he'd like to compete for the Outland Trophy, which goes to the nation's top college football lineman.

Players have until Tuesday to declare for April's NFL draft.

Wide receiver Brian Robiskie and defensive back Malcolm Jenkins have both said they'll return for their senior year, while defensive lineman Vernon Gholston has said he'll enter the draft.

Linebacker James Laurinaitis has yet to decide.
