Interesting article from Bruce Feldman in The Athletic on the ten non-QB players who will impact the CFP. He lists Jaydon Blue among the group.
Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas
Steve Sarkisian’s team probably has suffered the most key injury losses in camp with star running back CJ Baxter blowing out his knee and then Christian Clark, another back UT is high on, tearing his Achilles a few days later. Texas is down to three scholarship running backs. Quintrevion Wisner has lots of speed but is more of a slasher, while Jerrick Gibson, more of a bowling ball, will also help to pick up some of the slack. But Blue is talented enough to become a breakthrough player. He’s got 4.3 speed and ran for 398 yards in limited action. He’s a solid 200 pounds. Baxter had been the guy being counted on to really run between the tackles. The hope is that if Blue can become a more physical and durable runner to complement what already should be a dynamic offense, the Horns will have a big debut season in the SEC.
