We continue our Texas Longhorns position preview series by shifting our focus to the running backs. In previous posts, we’ve covered the offensive line and defensive line.
As it stands now, Texas appears to have four running backs who could all contribute this season. Once thought to be another possible option for snaps in 2019, true freshman Derrian Brown suffered a stroke earlier this year and is focused on his road to recovery first and foremost.
Freshmen: Jordan Whittington, Derrian Brown (out until further notice)
Before looking at how the position’s depth may shake out, it’s worth noting that to this point in the offseason, the Longhorns have seen three other running backs depart the program to pursue other opportunities.
