Baxter was named the Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year in Texas’s final season in the conference in 2023 after rushing for 659 yards on 138 carries and 5 touchdowns. Baxter sustained a season-ending knee injury prior to the 2024 season, tearing the lateral and posterior collateral ligaments in his right knee.
The redshirt sophomore was used more sparingly behind starter Quintrevion Wisner in 2025, totaling 54 carries for 196 yards. He is also effective out of the backfield, catching 24 passes for 156 yards in 2023 and adding 12 receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown this season.
Texas (9-3) earned the No. 13 ranking in the final College Football Playoff standings and is set to play No. 18 Michigan in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve (3 pm ET, ABC). The Longhorns and Wolverines have played twice throughout history, with Texas winning both times – including an electrifying 38-37 win in the 2005 Rose Bowl to win the national championship.
