DALLAS – The status of Texas senior running back Joe Bergeron has been in limbo for months.

After being away from the team since the spring while dealing with what the school called “personal matters” Charlie Strong cleared up Bergeron's status on Monday at Big 12 Media Days.

“He'll be back in the mix,” Strong said. “(Bergeron) has done everything we've asked him to do, not only academically but just showing up doing those little things.”

Bergeron has 1,392 career rushing yards and 25 career touchdowns. He needs two scores to break into the school's all-time top ten list and it looks like he'll get the chance to do so as a senior.

“When you take something away from a player sometimes and when you take something away that they really enjoy doing, then you can see a lot of change,” Strong said. “That changes very quickly if it's important to them.”
