I will say that I read where he said a few weeks ago that he wasn't sure he was ready to leave and that God put him at Texas for a reason. My mind did a serious double take on that before it said "nah, not gonna happen."
Who knows? Maybe it will.

Let me know of how many guys skipped a bowl game only to return for a senior season? Not enough the top DEs have done that.
Chip Brown, on his podcast, said that DMo, Rojo and Bijan haven't been at the couple of bowl prep practices. That to me, closes the book on this and means all 3 are gone.

Bummed to see him go but it definitely make a lot of sense for him. One plus, we finally get to stop hearing about the lack of Texas 1st round draft picks.
He is already charting a path as a lifetime longhorn. Plans to be at the Alamo Bowl with the team to support the guys. Plans to train in Austin for the NFL draft so that he can be with his former teammates and recruits.

Bijan, is the best back nation and will be the 1st back taken in next year's draft. He's also the best back in Longhorn history since Cedric Benson. As much of a Jamal Charles fan I am, Bijan is better. While we pub him as a Heisman candidate, when I look nationally his name isn't mentioned. Now to my random question: do any of you see him returning for his senior season? I actually think there's a chance; for several reasons actually (in no particular order):
1) Money isn't an issue. With NIL in place and he being a leader in that regard, the lure of million in the league isn't as tempting
2) The opportunity to legitimately contend for a national championship. Guys this team is close and basically everyone returns next year. Next year's team will be in playoff discussions. Promise.
3) A legit Heisman campaign. Everyone knows how special this kid is. What I have yet to see is a campaign to match his talents. Like what we saw during Ricky's, Vince's and Colt's Heisman candidacy.
Idk, maybe wishful thinking but it wouldn't be shock to see him return. I know all we here is how this is his last season but I haven't heard him say it ??
Always appreciate Bijan, great player great teammate great person.
Sorry, both Bijan and Jaamal well ahead of Ced. Ced was a work horse but never a difference maker and vanished in "big games". Ricky Earl Bijan Jaamal and Chris Gilbert are the Top 5 RBs in TEXAS history. D'Onte Foreman, Steve Worster Ced Roschon and Rosie rounding out the Top 10.
With Baxter enrolling early, going to be interesting to see the 2023 RB depth chart. Have to assume Brooks starts as RB1 but we could see that change pretty quickly.
Those guys running behind an OL with a year's worth of experience. . . .going to be interesting. Only hope Sark is smart enough to know that like 2022 should have been TEXAS in 2023 should be built around the run, play action and RPOs. We play for the BigXII title this year if Sark doesn't abandon the run in the 2nd half of games.
X-mas present for me too. Not sure I want to eat it. Right now it is on display in my liquor cabinet. haha
I don’t even like mustard but my Texas Exes daughters couldn’t resist. Mine is on display too
