Outside of quarterback, no position group for the Longhorns will face more scrutiny this season than running back.
Outside of quarterback, no position group will face more scrutiny this season than running back. That’s how it goes when an otherworldly superstar like Bijan Robinson and his stalwart backfield partner Roschon Johnson head to the NFL.
Brooks is in line to handle the early-down work to open the season. He’s a physical runner with good burst who’s put up strong numbers whenever given the chance. Outside of those two veterans, Blue, Red and Baxter loom as a hyper-talented trio eager to push the upperclassmen for touches, which is exactly the sort of demeanor Sarkisian and second-year running backs coach Tashard Choice want to see from their youngsters.He played quarterback, wideout and running back at Grand Prairie and spent his first year at Texas as a receiver. But at 5-10 and 214 pounds, Red moves more like a powerhouse running back.
But Blue finally got an extended chance to showcase his elite footwork and wiggle in the Longhorns’ Orange-White spring game last weekend. He made about five of his teammates miss on a dazzling 31-yard touchdown run that, if you squinted hard enough, looked almost like one of Bijan’s human joystick-like runs from the past three years.
