NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Cornerback Dominique Franks plans to return for his senior season at Oklahoma while some of his defensive teammates are waiting to make their decisions.

Franks said after practice Wednesday that he had submitted paperwork to the NFL to evaluate where he would be drafted, but he plans to play for the Sooners next season no matter what projection he gets back.

"I'm not worried about it at all," Franks said. "I'm coming back."

Franks was selected to the All-Big 12 second team this season after making 42 tackles and two interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown. He was also the Sooners' No. 2 punt returner, behind receiver Ryan Broyles.

Players don't have to decide on whether they'll enter the draft until January, but Franks joined defensive tackle Adrian Taylor in making their minds up early. Taylor said Sunday that he'd be coming back.

"I'm done with it. I'm just focusing on this last game. That's all I'm worried about," Franks said. "I'm not worried about talking to anybody or being at that next level."
