Other than Niblett, I think we should move this guy Chashard Toice.. a bit older walk on but has some wheels I hear

Sources have indicated to OnTexasFootball the injury bug bit again at practice Monday afternoon.

We do not know severity at this point and we are withholding the name of the player.

 

UPDATE: Given another source has mentioned the name, we will say the player referenced above is freshman RB Christian Clark. We still do not know the severity of the injury, although it sounds like a non-contact injury.

C'mon, @CJ Vogel - injury "bug"?  A bug is transitory, not season-ending.

@Gerry Hamilton can Texas go to the transfer portal now to look for insurance running back?

Portal is closed. But I bet Texas may look at some in the portal in the offseason.. maybe even recruit another RB in the 25 class

Jordan Davidson wasn't happy with our depth chart?   Well... 

[TTown]

Knee non contact reported so far. 🙏

Ryan Niblett is 175 pounds soaking wet after a good meal at Kerby Lane.

Moving him to RB solves nothing besides the premise of having another body, which sounds nice but he would never play since he does nothing the other guys at the position don’t already offer.

Ryan Niblett to RB?  We can’t go into the season with 2 smaller backs blue and wisner and the freshman gibson plus a converted LB. Niblett was a RB in HS and sits 7th on the WR depth chart. 
 

should clarify. Niblett played some RB in hs. Was an all everything player. 

I like this idea. I was thinking golden but I like this better

I get your point, but Blue and Wisner are more likely to get nicked up with their smaller stature.  Niblett would never be a full time RB, but could be a boutique back as Bobby has called K Rob previously.  We need guys that could take snaps in case of emergency.

I put him at rb for 2 seasons on ncaa 25 and he was the best back on the team and won a hiesman 👀

Only a grad transfer.

Possibility but the problem here is lack of size. Both Clark and Baxter are big backs. Niblett is decidedly not big. 

[Bonaparte]

Hopefully the young man heals quickly and continues his dream of playing college football.

Where are Lamarr Houston or Henry "Shelton" when we need them?

I appreciate OTF not mentioning the name imagine family reading it . Thank you guy for your thoughtfulness.

[Jbro52]

Prayers to Clark hoping it’s not major 

[smokeyiii]

Is there concern we have a strength and conditioning issue with how we are working the RBs or just incredibly back luck? Brooks, Baxter now Gibson. Just seems more than most teams and at on position.

He also said another body may have moved from defense to offense… we know derion guillete took reps… who else?

Drives me nuts we keep moving players from defense.  Doens't matter who runs the ball if the defense can't get off the field.  Surely one of the 11 WR's on ship can move to RB vs defense where we have zero depth besides at DE.

The player in reference to the post above is freshman RB Christian Clark. OTF was told he landed awkwardly and went down in pain and was unable to get off the field under his own power. 

This sounds like he will be done for the year. & this is apeaking as someone who has tore up their knee multiple times from non-contact injuries.  That really sucks & I’m praying for a miracle in regards to his health. But unfortunately that sounds very ominous.

This my friends, is called a false narrative 

[Derek Handler]

Really, we have 11 WR's.  Please enlighten me on this SEC depth at Corner, Safety and LB?

My bad???

I’ve not heard much positivity from this one with Clark.
