Savion Red News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento State Hornets

Lands at Sac State Red (knee) will transfer to Sacramento State, per Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com.

Impact The former Texas and Nevada tailback has found a new home. In 2024 with the Wolfpack, Red had a career year, rushing for 687 yards and eight scores while catching 16 passes for 74 yards. Now, he'll step down to the FCS level, where he should immediately manage to make his mark on the Sacramento State backfield.

Will enter portal Red (knee) will enter the NCAA's transfer portal, Chris Murray of NevadaSportsNet.com reports.

Impact The upcoming portal window will see Red as arguably its best new option available. Transferring colleges from Texas to Nevada worked out in the short term, with him logging over 750 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns for the 2024 season's Wolf Pack.

Not with the team Red (undisclosed) is not currently with Nevada as they open spring practice, NevadaSportsNet.com reports.

Impact Red is not currently listed on the Wolfpack's roster as they open spring practices. It is unclear whether the 5-foot-10 junior running back, who is currently recovering from an offseason surgery, will rejoin the program this fall. Red tallied 687 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 119 carries with Nevada last season.

Records four carries Red (undisclosed) logged four rushes for seven yards during Saturday's 22-19 loss to Air Force.

Impact At the very least, Red got some volume during Nevada's latest game. Ideally for him, Red can finish his 2024 season strong, showing himself as the top running back he was earlier this year. In particular, Weeks 0 to 8 saw Red log 99 carries for 649 yards and eight touchdowns.

DNP Saturday Red (undisclosed) was held out of Nevada's 28-21 loss to Boise State on Saturday.

Impact Red was a late addition to the injury report and was held out of Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury. The junior running back was recently injured in the team's contest against Hawaii in Week 9, but was able to play in last week's game against Colorado State. It is thus far unknown whether his current ailment is related to the previous injury, but it clearly was bothering him enough to justify holding him out against the Broncos. Red will hope to use the Wolfpack's upcoming bye to recover in time for a home matchup against Air Force the following Saturday.

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return Red accrued 12 rushes for 20 yards and hauled in his only target for one yard during Saturday's 38-21 loss to Colorado State.

Impact Red would ultimately suit up after he was deemed questionable coming into the game. However, the junior certainly appeared to still be limited as he'd split carries with Sean Dollars. Overall, Red's up to 676 yards with eight touchdowns on 112 carries this season. He should return to his regular workload next week, albeit in a tough matchup with Boise State.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. CSU Red (undisclosed) was injured against Hawaii and is now deemed questionable for Week 10, Chris Murray of Nevada Sports Net reports.

Impact Red tallied one carry for seven yards against Hawaii before he was knocked out of the game. His backup, Patrick Garwo, was also dinged up against the Rainbow Warriors. If neither tailback can play against Colorado State, expect Sean Dollars to lead the way in the backfield.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tops 100 yards, two scores Red logged 10 rushes for 117 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 49-16 win versus Eastern Washington.

Impact Red was certainly efficient Saturday, averaging 11.7 yards per carry while adding a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 31-yard scamper. It's been a nice start to the year for the Texas transfer who now has 394 yards on 54 carries (good for an average of 7.3 yards per attempt) with three touchdowns in his first five games.

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.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.
