Texas running backs ranked among the best position groups in CFB

Texas should have lots of confidence in its running back room this season.

Texas should have lots of confidence in its running back room this season.

Bijan Robinson leads the group as one of the top offensive players in college football. The junior totaled nearly 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns in just 10 games last season. Robinson returns with Heisman odds and NFL draft aspirations.

What makes Texas’ running back unit so special is the depth and talent behind Robinson.

Senior Roschon Johnson is a rock-solid back who displays excellent toughness and leadership skills. Johnson is a great change of pace complement to Robinson.

Speedy Keilan Robinson is a home run threat every time he touches the ball. The former Alabama transfer is a great gadget guy and plays a huge role on special teams.

Young guys Johnathan Brooks and Jaydon Blue are exciting talents who have bright futures ahead of them.

247Sports ranks Texas’ running back room as the No. 5 overall position group in the nation. Pretty good company to be mentioned with for the Longhorns ball carriers.
