Texas football roster breakdown: The running backs

The running back room for the Texas Longhorns is loaded with talent. What is the outlook for Keaontay Ingram and can he hold off Bijan?

The Texas Longhorns have quite the level of talent among their running back room that looks different than it did a season ago. Even with composite five-star running back Jordan Whittington moving over to wide receiver, the level of talent is still with this group.

The incumbent starter Keaontay Ingram is looking to build off of his sophomore campaign. He was a big part of their 38-10 Alamo Bowl victory over the Utah Utes down in San Antonio. Behind him is the quarterback turned running back.

Roschon Johnson started out at quarterback but after an early season injury to Whittington, Johnson made the move to running back and finished second on the team. He will be looking to fulfill that role once again in 2020 as a compliment to the starter Ingram.

Then you have the newcomer Bijan Robinson, who was rated the number one running back in the nation. He was one of two signees that played running back. Jaden Hullaby of Mansfield being the other, however he is listed as an athlete. Robinson is expected to provide some juice to the offense in 2020 and beyond.
