AUSTIN, Texas — Junior Jaydon Blue and freshman Jerrick Gibson are the only healthy running backs among the top seven players at the position ashe Texas Longhorns released the school’s first SEC-mandated injury report heading into Saturday’s conference opener against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
It’s not news that sophomore CJ Baxter and freshman Christian Clark are out for the season, but the revelations that senior Kansas and SMU transfer Velton Gardner is out with an undisclosed injury, top walk-on Colin Page is doubtful with an undisclosed injury, and sophomore Quintrevion Wisner is questionable with an undisclosed injury are all concerning developments.
