2024 Fantasy Outlook
Blue will likely play second fiddle to CJ Baxter in the Texas backfield in 2024, but there still should be plenty of carries to go around. Last year's starter, Jonathan Brooks, took his 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns to the NFL, and while Baxter more than doubled Blue's touches, Blue generally looked more explosive than Baxer. Blue averaged a stout 6.1 yards per carry, while Baxter only managed 4.8 yards per tote. Baxter had five touchdowns compared to three for Blue, but as mentioned above, Baxter had more than double the amount of carries. All this being considered, there could effectively be a split between the top two running backs for Texas again this season, meaning that Blue should get over 100 carries and the chance to figure prominently in the Longhorn offense. It must be pointed out that Texas moves to the SEC this season, though, meaning a likely tougher slate of opposing defenses. Read Past Outlooks
'Making good progress'
Blue (undisclosed) is progressing in his recovery and is "making good progress," according to head coach Steve Sarkisian, per David Eckert of the Statesman.
ANALYSIS
Blue missed Week 3 against UTSA, but has been the Longhorns' top tailback this season. He's amassed 20 carries for 79 yards through two games. In Blue's stead, Quintrevion Wisner and Jerrick Gibson formed a committee backfield for Texas, which figures to be the case if Blue is forced to miss Week 4 against UL-Monroe.
