After becoming the highest-ranked running back to sign with the Texas Longhorns since Johnathan Gray in 2012, Carthage product Keaontay Ingram wasted no time making his presence felt on the Forty Acres. Ingram stepped foot on campus last summer as the low man on the totem pole and swiftly chipped away at the depth chart, surpassing the likes of Tristian Houston, Kirk Johnson, and key 2017 contributor Toneil Carter by the time fall camp was complete.
It quickly became quite clear why he was worthy of a role in the rotation, as Ingram found the end zone against Maryland on only his fourth career carry, and flashed enough ability in limited touches to leapfrog Daniel Young on the depth chart following his debut.
