Four-star running back Jaydon Blue is now likely to commit to the University of Texas.
As of Monday, 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions list Blue at a 75% confidence level to continue his playing career in Austin. The 5-foot-10, 205-pound playmaker is the No. 4 overall running back out of the 2022 recruiting class.
He’s received numerous offers from well-respected programs such as Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Oklahoma , Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame and Florida. The Longhorns sent an official offer to Blue in June.
Blue excels in both football and track at Klein Cain High School in Houston, Texas. He has impressive burst and acceleration to get down field, often making defenders miss at the second level.
True freshman running back Bijan Robinson is receiving notable playing time with the Longhorns this season, his success on the field has appeared to catch the eye of Blue and how he could potentially be used.
As it stands now, Texas will be fighting alongside LSU as the top two programs left in the hunt to land Blue. The Longhorns need some type of momentum on the recruiting trail and Blue announcing a commitment to Texas would certainly provide that.
