Deep, talented Texas RB room seeks elite status

Those five running backs selected are the most of any school in the country over that span.

But although former running backs coach Tashard Choice left a talented room on the Forty Acres when he departed in mid-February to coach for the Detroit Lions, it’s a group that doesn’t have a transcendent talent like Robinson, a hard-nosed leader with the physical running style of Johnson, a back with the high-level fluidity of Brooks, or a player with Blue’s elite game-breaking speed.
