Texas made a major addition at running back on Thursday.
According to On3, the Longhorns got a commitment from Arizona State RB Raleek Brown. The former Sun Devil was considered one of the best running backs available in the transfer portal after he rushed for 1,141 yards on just 186 carries in 2025.

Brown’s best game came on Nov. 22 against Colorado. He rushed 22 times for 255 yards and a score while also catching a 33-yard touchdown pass. Brown broke out in 2025 after he appeared in just four games across the past two seasons.
A former USC wide receiver, Brown changed positions when he came to Arizona State in 2024. As the Sun Devils needed to replace the production of Cam Skattebo in the backfield and added former Army RB Kanye Udoh, Brown emerged as ASU’s top rushing threat.
Texas’ run game needs a boost heading into 2025. The Longhorns averaged 4.2 yards a carry as a team and Tre Wisner (597 yards) was the only player who rushed for more than 400 yards. Arch Manning was the team’s second-leading rusher with 399 yards and had 10 rushing TDs. No other player had more than three scores.

Wisner and CJ Baxter (196 yards over eight games) entered the transfer portal at the end of the season. Wisner has committed to Florida State.
Brown is the second offensive skill position transfer the Longhorns have added this offseason. The team previously got a commitment from former Michigan State tight end Michael Masunas. Texas is also chasing former Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman, who will likely command a large sum of NIL money as the top receiver in the transfer portal.
