Texas senior running back Roschon Johnson appears to already be in midseason form this spring.
Johnson shined in Bijan Robinson’s absence. The former quarterback turned running back scored two touchdowns on Saturday including a 56-yard scoring scamper. Johnson showed off his wheels to escape from the Texas secondary.

Texas’ two-headed monster of Robinson and Johnson will be a force to be reckoned with in the fall. Many schools around the country would love to have a player of Johnson’s caliber as their starter.
Steve Sarkisian will make sure both guys play a significant role in the offseason. Texas had some success with two-back sets in the 2021 season.
Fellow running backs Keilan Robinson, Jonathon Brooks and Jaydon Blue flashed during portions of the game as well. The Texas running back unit is stacked with talent from top to bottom.
