Quintrevion Wisner's potential path to greatness begins on strong footing
Quintrevion Wisner’s star began to shine brightly last Saturday as he captured the spotlight in the Texas vs. Oklahoma showdown.

Oklahoma’s defense came out strong, applying pressure in the early moments. Yet Wisner’s composure under fire was nothing short of impressive. His ability to turn hopeless situations into big gains became a crucial advantage for Texas.
Time and again, as defenders broke through and closed in right as he received the handoff, Wisner’s unique skills emerged. His instinctive sidestepping of oncoming tacklers was breathtaking, as he consistently evaded trouble in the backfield and refused to be brought down on the first hit. His ability to find open space in seemingly impossible situations was a testament to his agility, vision, and precise decision-making.
A standout quality in Wisner’s game was his exceptional balance. Even when defenders charged at him with full force, he remained upright, driving forward. This resilience—the refusal to let a single defender stop him—is a philosophy deeply rooted in Texas running backs. Tashard Choice doesn’t believe one tackler should be able to end the play. Wisner didn’t just embrace this mentality. He embodied it, driving home the message that he was there to stay, powering through every attempt to bring him down.

And yet despite all these accolades and deserved postgame praise, there’s room for improvement. He ran 30-plus yards toward the end zone after all, only to fumble it into the scoring area and create a mad dash for the football. Silas Bolden was able to cover up Wisner’s mistake. On Wisner’s very next opportunity, he dashed 43 yards to the end zone and held the football high and tight as he crossed the plane.
This combination of athleticism, vision, and sheer grit—especially his skill in dodging tacklers under intense pressure—sets Wisner apart. It’s a rare gift, an instinct that can’t be easily taught, and it speaks volumes about his potential.
