I have no idea how this running back makes his decisions, but it occurs to me that there is a big difference in the A&M and Texas running strategy.

Go to A&M and become a feature back, and you'll get a lot of carries and, if their line actually improves over the next few years, a lot of yards grounding and pounding. I can see the appeal in that.

Come to Texas and you will likely not get as large a number of touches or yards, but you will be more likely to make spectacular plays set up by our run-pass strategy.

Also appealing.

I wonder if I'm hitting on any reality with this consideration. 

Also appealing to RB these days is not being a sole featured back. The NFL views RB as the most replaceable position out there, and it typically has the shortest lifespan in the league. RBs have taken a longer view of working to preserve their bodies in college more than even just 5-8 years ago.
