Jaydon Blue injury status revealed ahead of Texas’ home matchup against UTSA

Jaydon Blue will not play for Texas as it hosts UTSA in Austin on Saturday.

Blue had 11 carries for 57 yards against Michigan State and 6 catches for 37 yards and a touchdown during a 52-0 Week 1 win. In Week 2, against Michigan, he had 9 touches for 22 yards and 3 catches for 37 yards but suffered an injury during the 1st quarter. That injury apparently hasn’t healed up enough to make him available against the Roadrunners.

Blue is coming off a sophomore campaign where he had 3 touchdowns and 398 yards on 65 carries. He also had 14 catches for 135 yards and a score. For his career, Blue has 510 yards and 3 TDs on 100 carries while catching 23 passes for 209 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Texas and UTSA kick off from DKR Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m. ET, with the game set to be televised on ESPN. The two teams have met just once on the gridiron, a 41-20 victory for the Longhorns in 2022.

As for Blue, he’ll have at least one week to get healthy.

Just in, Texas RB Jaydon Blue, DL Aaron Bryant, and DB Jelani McDonald are out for tonight's matchup against UTSA.#HookEm | @TSTVSports
