Texas running back Chris Warren III announced Monday that he will transfer out of the program.

The junior, who was the Longhorns' primary back early this season but moved to tight end late in the season, has one year of eligibility remaining, but does have a redshirt season should he transfer to another FBS school and need to sit out per NCAA rules.

Warren finished his 2017 season with 71 carries and 314 rushing yards, both third on the team and second among the team's running backs.

"It was a difficult decision, and I'm thankful to all of my teammates and coaches I've had on the 40 Acres," Warren said in a statement.
