Texas Football: 5 best remaining RB transfer prospects

The fact that the Texas football program could get its hands on a player that would be entering his redshirt sophomore campaign and would have up to three years of eligibility left would be a gold mine. Stability and longevity would ultimately be the name of the game for the Horns for this thinning running back room.

This big time target that could emerge for the Horns is third-year former Louisville Cardinals running back Colin Wilson. It seems like Wilson is the perfect combination of proven experience, multiple years of eligibility left, and a high ceiling, among all the transfer running back prospects remaining in the portal.

The report that first-year head coach Scott Satterfield and the Cardinals would lose yet another running back to the transfer portal came back on March 22. Louisville and Texas are two of the heaviest providers of running back names in the transfer portal at this point of the off-season. But, Texas can afford to lose them more than the Louisville offense can.

In limited playing time in his first two years with the Louisville football program, Wilson posted 314 total yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. He averaged more than six yards per carry on 45 touches over that same span of time. At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, Wilson would be a bruiser that could add a lot of strength and depth to this Texas football backfield.
