Texas running back CJ Baxter will miss the 2024 season with a right knee injury sustained in practice on Tuesday.
The school confirmed Wednesday that the 6-foot-1, 220-pound sophomore will have season-ending surgery. The Austin American-Statesman said Baxter tore multiple ligaments and faces a recovery time of 6 to 9 months.
He was an All-Big 12 honorable mention last year and made the 2024 preseason Doak Walker Award watch list. Baxter ran for 659 yards and five TDs and caught 24 passes for 156 yards in 13 games as a freshman in 2023.
Junior Jaydon Blue is the next man up for the Longhorns. In 23 games, he has rushed 80 times for 430 yards and three touchdowns and added 14 catches for 135 yards and one score.
Texas kicks off its first season in the SEC on Aug. 31 at home against Colorado State.
