Texas running back CJ Baxter suffered a knee injury in practice Tuesday that will require season-ending surgery, the school announced Wednesday.
An MRI revealed Baxter suffered a tear in his lateral and posterior collateral ligaments (LCL and PCL), sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel, and will require surgery.
Baxter, the No. 30 overall recruit in the 2023 ESPN 300, was expected to be a major contributor for Texas this season. Last year, Baxter became the first true freshman to start a season opener for the Longhorns since Ricky Williams in 1995, before leaving the Rice game with a rib injury after five carries for 38 yards.
