Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
It is easy to show that Floor[((n^4-n^3-1)/ (n^3-n-1))^2] = (n-1)^2 + 1 for n >= 3. So this is essentially the same sequence as A002522. - Juan Jose Alba Gonzalez, Nov 09 2006.
