Texas Longhorns running back Hollywood Smothers will miss the remainder of the season due to injury, according to reports emerging Thursday. The news comes as the team prepares for upcoming matchups against Missouri and a trip to face LSU.
Smothers, a key contributor in the Longhorns' backfield, had been expected to feature prominently in the team's offensive plans for the critical late-season stretch. The timing of the injury represents a significant blow to Texas' depth at the position as they navigate a challenging schedule.
No specific details regarding the nature of Smothers' injury or the exact timeline for his recovery have been disclosed. The Longhorns coaching staff will now need to adjust their game plan and rely on other running backs to shoulder the workload in his absence.
