Texas Longhorns' Star RB Jonathon Brooks Out for Season with Torn ACL

Injury May Impact Brooks' Status in 2024 NFL Draft, Freshman CJ Baxter to Step Up

Texas Longhorns' star running back Jonathon Brooks will miss the rest of the season due to a torn ACL in his right knee.
Brooks was injured during the Longhorns' 29-26 victory over TCU, and will soon undergo surgery.
Before his injury, Brooks had rushed for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 games this season, ranking sixth nationally.
Brooks was considered the top running back prospect for the 2024 NFL Draft, but his injury may impact his draft status.
In Brooks' absence, the bulk of the load will likely fall on true freshman CJ Baxter.
