the Longhorns have been busy looking for ways to improve their offense. One way of doing that is adding to the running back room. Help could be on the way in the form of four-star running back Javian Osborne, who is set to visit Texas the weekend of January 25th.
If the Longhorns can land Osborne, they would add a player ranked as the fifth-best running back and 61st-best player in the 2026 class by On3. He has drawn the attention of scouts due to his ability to cut through any defense and dazzle fans with his speed. The Texas native has also been impressed by what he has seen from the Longhorns this past season.
“Texas, they’ve been in the picture since freshman year,” Osborne told Sports Illustrated reporter Emma Hutchinson. “I love how Coach Sarkisian utilizes running backs in the passing game and in the run. Just being able to utilize them in different situations. Coach Choice as well, he’s been in the picture since my freshman year.”
