Running back recruiting is Tashard Choice’s world, and we’re just living in it. The Texas running back coach earned a second elite running back commitment in three days with arguably the best running back in the nation, Jerrick Gibson.
The four-star running back made his intent to join the Longhorns known on Saturday. He joins fellow running back commit Christian Clark in what appears to be one of the best running back classes Texas has ever assembled.
We’ll let Gibson and Clark decide which back will be known as lightning and which one will be thunder. What seems evident is Texas should be set to run the football at an elite level for years to come.
Gibson is the No. 2 running back and No. 48 overall player in the 2024 On3 consensus.
