Four-star RB Cedric Baxter Jr drops top seven schools, Texas makes the cut
Cedric Baxter Jr, one of the top running backs in the class of 2023, released his top seven schools on Saturday.
Texas made the cut with the likes of Alabama, Ohio State and others. Baxter is rated by 247sports composite as the No. 4 running back in the country who has received 38 offers.

Andrew Ivins of 247sports compares Baxter to Alabama running back Brian Robinson Jr in his scouting report:
A potential workhorse or feature back. The first one off the bus with his 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame. Could eventually push 230 pounds or more once in a college strength program. Played primarily safety and a little wide receiver before settling in as the starting running back at one of Orlando’s top high school programs. Produced right away as a junior averaging just over 8.5 yards per carry while facing stiff competition week in and week out.
Landing Baxter would be the first big win for new running backs coach Tashard Choice at Texas.
