ATLANTA — Do the Texas Longhorns need to add a running back from the NCAA transfer portal?

Just like coaches have to look ahead for program management purposes, fans are looking ahead to the 2025 season, too, even as head coach Steve Sarkisian’s team prepares to face the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Peach Bowl on New Year’s Day.

Sophomore running back CJ Baxter is recovering from the knee injury sustained in preseason camp that ended his 2024 season. Freshman Christian Clark suffered his own season-ending injury when he tore his Achilles several days after Baxter went down.
