The long-awaited carry might finally come.
That’s because the comeback story of fourth-year Texas Longhorns running back Kirk Johnson is expected to continue into the 2019 season, as a school spokesman told Burnt Orange Nation on Wednesday that all indications are that Johnson will return for another year on the Forty Acres.
His last carry came late in the 2015 season against Texas Tech and resulted in a knee injury that ultimately derailed his career. Over the next two seasons, Johnson only appeared in one game after suffering numerous injuries and undergoing numerous surgeries.
