Notre Dame's Louis Nix III, Zack Martin to return in 2013

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame nose guard Louis Nix III and offensive tackle Zack Martin will return to school next year and skip the 2013 NFL Draft.

Coach Brian Kelly started a news conference Monday by announcing that two of his top players would be back. Kelly also says running back Cierre Wood will wait until he receives an evaluation of his draft stock from an NFL advisory committee before deciding if he will return for another season.

The 325-pound Nix anchored one of the top defenses in college football. The junior had 45 tackles and two sacks.

Martin is Notre Dame's top offensive line and a three-year starter.

Wood is the team's second-leading rusher with 740 yards and four touchdowns.
