LOOK: Texas RB Savion Red looks the part this spring

Texas has a loaded running back room. Savion Red could not care less.

Red made the transition from slot receiver to running back this offseason. Let’s just say I had my doubts he would ever see the field at running back. It appears he’s been putting in the work in the weight room to challenge for playing time.

Inside Texas posted a picture of Red on Instagram standing next to Steve Sarkisian on the practice field. And while it’s probably been awhile since Sarkisian put up his best numbers in the gym, Red looks to have around 30 more pounds of lean muscle on his head coach at comparable weight. In short, No. 17 has plenty of muscle.

Texas running backs Jonathon Brooks, Cedric Baxter and Keilan Robinson will command carries, while Jaydon Blue could shake up the depth chart himself. Even so, it will be interesting to see if Sarkisian and company can carve out a role for Red in his versatile offense.
