AUSTIN -- After an emotional exit at the Cotton Bowl, Michael Taaffe now has some unfinished business.

The Texas Longhorns safety announced on social media Tuesday that he'll be returning to the Forty Acres next season.

Here's a look at his announcement:

After the loss to Ohio State, Taaffe was emotional knowing it was the last time he'd be playing with this year's team.

"This team so special to me, and just for this book of the chapter to close, for this team, as far as we can't play another game together, that hurt, emotionally, that hurt, just to not be able to play with those guys ever again, wearing the burnt orange," Taaffe said.
