JAYDON BLUE NEWS

Declares for NFL Draft Blue has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, according to his X account.

Impact Blue will forgo his senior year of collegiate eligibility. The running back began his collegiate career during 2022, when he barely averaged multiple yards per game and logged less than 50 of them then. However, Blue significantly improved his statistical output that peaked in 2024. Overall, he logged 1,098 all-purpose yards (730 rushing and 368 receiving) and 14 touchdowns (eight rushing and six receiving) across his 15 games for Texas then. Ideally for Blue, all that output and an adequate combine performance can earn him a selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Scores twice as receiver in semis Blue had four carries for 16 yards and reeled in five of six targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 28-14 College Football Playoff Semifinal loss to Ohio State.

Impact Blue didn't handle a ton of carries in the contest but made the most of his touches as a receiver, keeping the Longhorns in the game with the team's only two offensive touchdowns on the night. It wasn't enough, and the junior's season comes to a conclusion, having amassed 134 carries for 730 yards and eight touchdowns, adding 42 catches for 368 yards and another six scores. However, Blue's involvement waned a bit down the stretch, totaling five or fewer carries in four of the last five games, and with CJ Baxter (knee) presumably slated to return in 2025 and Quintrevion Wisner etching out a regular role, Blue will have a decision to make regarding the transfer portal.
