Nearly three years ago, Texas Longhorns junior running back Jaydon Blue made the unusual decision of opting out of his senior year of high school at Klein Cain.
“This has been a very difficult decision for my family & I,” Blue said in the Twitter post announcing his decision. “Football is a brutal sport, and the wear and tear associated with the RB position is undeniable. I plan to take this time to focus on my academics while enhancing my off the field training/ rehab regimen.
“This is a strategic & conscious effort to ensure that I am prepared to perform at an elite level at the collegiate rankings during the 2022 season.
