I don't know about quit, and maybe it's a bit harsh to say, but kind of turning out to be a waste of a scholarship. To add, our depth at RB just got really really shitty. Keontay needs to stay healthy. Edited August 10, 20196 yr by ztejas

Best case scenario, no, but currently our RB2 is a true frosh, and I've never seen DY run for anything more than what was blocked. I think we'd prefer not to have to experiment doing things like lining up Smith at RB (even though he was great there in HS) Obviously Keontay is out in this hypothetical.

If Kirk can heal properly (knock on wood), Kirk could return and play in 8 weeks against West Virginia on October 5th. That still gives him a shot to play in up to 8 more regular season games including blOU game... 🤘

Kirk's injury may hamper plans to use some 2 RB sets for Texas unless Herman uses the TE's in the backfield a little bit. Hope Horns don't ever get to this point, but B.J. Foster was a decent RB in high school

August 10, 20196 yr In my “every white receiver reminds me of Steve Largent” mindset, I will admit I’ve wondered if Jake Smith has a little Christian McCaffrey in him (NTTAWWT). And he’s apparently a legit 5’11-6’, 200ish, so decent size to go with the speed.

August 10, 20196 yr Jaren apparently benched 345 in high school, of course the bar doesn’t have to go far. He’s a little bad ass in these vids as a 5’4” RB. Would be fun if he ever got in a game. Could the defense find him? https://www.hudl.com/video/3/540929/57dd9221688ec31464c311a8
