Savion Red News, Rumors, Updates - Nevada Wolf Pack | FOX Sports

Continues to lead backfield Red logged 11 rushes for 89 yards and gathered in his only target for four yards during Saturday's 20-17 loss against Georgia Southern.

Impact Red continues to establish himself as the go-to option in Nevada's backfield over Sean Dollars, who didn't see a carry Saturday. While the Wolf Pack were forced to turn to the passing game in the loss, Red was efficient with limited work-- he's now averaging 10.2 yards per carry over his last two contests. Overall, Red's up to 254 rushing yards with a touchdown on 34 carries through his first three games with Nevada.

Leads backfield vs. Troy Red recorded 11 carries for 135 yards during Saturday's 28-26 victory over Troy.

Impact After splitting carries with Sean Dollars in Nevada's Week 0 loss to SMU, Red emerged as the Wolf Pack's lead option Saturday, averaging 12.3 yards per carry, highlighted by a 69-yard scamper early in the second half. It remains to be seen how Nevada's backfield will shape up as the season progresses, though Red seems to have the upper-hand to start the year. The junior's rushed for 165 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries after seeing minimal usage in two seasons at Texas.

Sees 12 carries in opener Red logged 12 carries for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 29-24 loss to SMU. He also caught two of three targets for 10 yards.

Impact Red saw a near-even split with Sean Dollars on Saturday, though he appeared to be the preferred goal-line option, punching in a one-yard score. Red joined the Wolf Pack in the offseason after rushing for 131 yards and a score on 30 carries last year with Texas. While Red's Week 0 usage is encouraging, it's unclear whether Nevada will continue to utilize a backfield committee or if Dollars was on a snap count after he was limited by an injury in spring practices.

Set to play in spring game Red (hand) is in the game roster for Texas's spring game, Chip Brown of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Red's hand injury hindered him from fully participating in earlier spring practices, but his name on the spring game roster indicates he's now healthy and good to go. The 5-foot-10 running-back rushed 30 times for 131 yards and one touchdown in 2023, but should have the opportunity to exceed these stats if able to stay healthy for the upcoming year.
