Texas fans, get ready for some exciting news. Micah Rhodes, a top-tier running back for the 2028 class, is back on the market after stepping away from his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners.
This 4-star talent hails from Klein Oak High School in Spring, TX, and is making waves as the No. 2-ranked RB nationwide according to 247sports.com, and their top-ranked RB on site rankings. And here's a fun fact: Rhodes carries the legacy of his grandfather, Bobby Rhodes, a former Texas linebacker from the 1980s.
Rhodes is a dynamic playmaker, both as a runner and a pass-catcher, setting him apart in the 2028 class. His sophomore year was nothing short of spectacular, racking up 1,307 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, solidifying his status as a standout prospect.
Standing at 5'10" and weighing 195 pounds, Rhodes has a knack for playing through contact, bouncing off defenders with ease. His acceleration is remarkable, allowing him to make sharp cuts both at the line of scrimmage and in open field situations. Watching him in action is a treat, and he could be a fantastic complement to a player like Derrek Cooper in the future.
Rhodes seems tailor-made for Steve Sarkisian's offensive scheme, and it's no surprise that numerous programs are eager to bring him on board. Longhorns fans are hopeful that Rhodes will find his way "home" to Austin by National Signing Day 2028. With his impressive skills and family legacy, he could be a game-changer for Texas.
