Don’t do that it’s weird. Assuming you meant it’s verbally given to you. What you do is smile and say thanks I learned a lot, wait until a couple days before the response deadline and email that for personal reasons you cannot accept your return - but greatly enjoyed your experience and learned a lot. Do not update your LinkedIn until you start day 1 of your new role.

 

He's not reneging, there's no reason as to why he can't update his LinkedIn. He can simply receive the offer in writing and then politely decline. A lot of people switch shops for FT / SA. It sounds like he’s a sophomore and has a junior SA at another firm. Just say you really appreciated the opportunity but due to the accelerated timeline you already signed elsewhere

 

'Thank you so much. I've had a great experience working here this summer and appreciate all the opportunities. However, I will not be returning next year and have another job lined up.' Hell you can even tell them where you're working if you so choose.

This is not the same as reneging, there's no shame or dishonesty here.
