3 Texas players who impressed in Day 2 of fall practice

Tre Wisner, RB

It's hard to not be impressed by what we've heard and seen from the Texas running back room this offseason. Choice and the Longhorns have their backfield in as good of shape regarding talent and depth as it's been in Sarkisian's four years as Texas's head coach.

The top three running backs in the pecking order for practice reps this fall have all been solid through the first two days of preseason camp. We've heard a lot of positive feedback about the performances of sophomore CJ Baxter Jr. in the last couple of days. Junior Jaydon Blue has also led the way for this group as one of the most vocal players at the skill positions this week.

Maybe the most pleasant surprise for the Texas running backs in fall practice this week has been the emergence of sophomore Tre Wisner. Wisner not only looks bigger and more athletic than he was as a true freshman last year in camp, but he is also looking more comfortable taking reps out of the backfield in this offense this fall.

Wisner has reportedly looked very quick and elusive in the limited contact team drills for the second and third-team offense in the last two days in practice. He's also reportedly shown good effort when Texas worked on ball security drills with the skill position guys in practice on Thursday.

If there was any doubt whether Wisner would be able to secure the third running back spot in the backfield rotation entering the regular season, I think those doubts are being put to rest early in preseason camp.
