College Football/The Draft

Question
If a junior decides to forgo his senior season to go into the NFL draft and doesn't get drafted can he return to play his final year of eligibility

Answer
Keith, hello!

I am not sure!  I've heard that he cannot play college if he was paid as a professional.  I've heard that if he was not drafted he could go back to school and still have eligibility.  The answer is best described through NCAA.com or by having the college get an official answer from the NCAA.  

If I find the answer soon, I'll write back to you!!

Take care,
