2026 Running Back

[georgethepunter]

What do y'all think the depth chart looks like next year? Are we sleeping on Terry? Could Cooper get early playing time? My best guess is the following but we shall see how the portal turns out. 

 

1. Portal

2. Simon

3. Portal

4. Clark

5. Terry

6. Cooper

7. Walker

[CJ Vogel]

My best guess starts with portal at 1 and 2.

[Paul Jespersen]

I'd guess that hope would be for Cooper to be higher than that...

Cooper will be #3 by conference time.  Sark will not be on the Herman Bijan plan.

[AusMOJO]

Portal 1 & 2.

3 & 4 will be Simon/Clark.

Not sure Terry stays at RB, but they need to figure out what to do with him.

Think Cooper will be 5, but may work his way up to 3.

Unfortunately Tech is driving prices up as are other teams that will dole out mega bucks For the one player they think will get them over the top.  We will unfortunately have to spend a lot to get the top portal guys.  Remember last year when we lost Bailey to Tech and Dominic Williams to OU.   NIL budget had better increase.  If Tech makes a deep run, that will just encourage Campbell to spend more next year.

Tre Wisner asking for a million means Jadan Baugh will want $3,000,000.   Not saying it is realistic, but that’s where we are.

I dont think Baugh will pull QB money. He will likely get $1.5-2mil; nonetheless, you cant have both and that is the issue.  Wisner is a good change of pace RB but his production over 3 yrs does not show featured running back status. Undoubtedly, he wants to be the featured back next year to redeem himself for the draft and that is not going to happen at Texas now.

1. Baugh 

2. Portal 

3. Terry 

4. Cooper 

5. Jett 

Simon and Clarke transfer. We have a complete rehaul of the room
