RB in portal this off season?

[VFL TX-EX]

Tennessee insiders are suggesting that Cam Seldon will be entering the transfer portal at end of the season. Would Texas be interested?

Would Ollie Gordon II return to college for one more season?  The running back class is stacked in 2025.  Would love to see him in burnt orange.

Seriously? Gordon might be the worst culture fit for Texas in all of CFB.

Blue, Wisner, and Gibson all more likely to be back next season than not (Blue would really have to go off this final home stretch to increase his draft stock). Baxter added back into the mix at some point in the offseason. Same with Clark but would assume he’s going to need next year as a developmental year so probably doesn’t get included in the count for game ready bodies. Simon and Stewart coming in as early enrollees. Don’t think bringing in an RB1 caliber player would be on the list of offseason priorities especially with the price tag someone like Gordon would command.

Don’t think he’d be a target.

Texas needs a big back with power and speed. Someone who can wear down a defense.

Jeanty has a year left and went to Frisco 🙂

Dude is not a culture fit

Exactly. Hard pass

To me the RB in portal question (in general not player specific) depends on several things.  

1. Severity of injuries. When will Baxter be back? If not in time for fall camp, time to go big time RB hunting. If he’s back sooner maybe add depth. What about Clark? Got the idea his injury was worse. If so, again need to look for depth. 
2. How is Gibson progressing? Can he play a larger role next year, improve in pass pro and ball security?

3. Does Blue stay? This is much less important to me because he’s more of a RB/WR hybrid and even if he stays it doesn’t greatly help RB depth. 
 

And as always with the portal, if a big time dude falls in your lap and he’s a fit, just take him, regardless.

Last weeks  florida 230lb fresh rb …that kid would be gameday starter now!  
id take him over Baxter….havin both would be ideal!  

if Texas had that rb this yr……i truly believe we prob lose to Georgia……(we had to,,, to get better qb..oL)…….yet for playoff run , it all comes togethere

Our OLine w that rb would be nasty….our playaction nfl like to defense…..

Sark got it…….. truly we are blessed w his vision… he is playin the cards dealt

Im thinkin Terry gets on field immediately as Big rb….then to hback

We definitely need an inside zone workhorse. One and done guy to give Baxter and Clark the time they need.

We'll be really lucky to have Baxter and Clark practicing next fall.  Neither had run-of-the-mill injuries from everything we've heard?

I can't imagine Sark won't take the same approach to RB that he did with WRs the last off-season.
