Twitter reacts to Texas landing On3’s No. 1 running back Cedric Baxter Jr.
The Texas Longhorns landed a massive commitment from four-star running back Cedric Baxter Jr. on Wednesday.
The Orlando product is rated the No. 1 running back in the country for the 2023 recruiting class and the No. 8 overall prospect in Florida, according to On3 Sports.
The Longhorns have arguably the best backfield in the country already, and it continues to get stronger each year. Once Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson depart for the NFL, Texas will likely still have a mixture of Jonathon Brooks, Keilan Robinson, Jaydon Blue, Cedric Baxter and Tre Wisner. That makes up a very strong running back room for the foreseeable future in Austin.
The Texas coaching staff, current players, commits, media members and fans were ecstatic to hear Baxter’s commitment to Texas on Wednesday evening. Here’s a look at some of the best reactions to the news.

Baxter is the best back in the country. Speed and size are easy to see, but he can get small and find daylight before hitting the jets, too.

Hard to imagine Sark pulling better levers with his two coaching hires than Choice and Marion. Those two brought total rejuvenation to recruiting.
