Last season Bijan Robinson continued his ascension for the Texas Longhorns after breaking out against the Kansas State Wildcats and Colorado Buffaloes to close the 2020 season.
Last season came to an abrupt end following an injury against the Iowa State Cyclones. However, Robinson had already racked up 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns before the injury. During the 2021 campaign, Bijan also rushed for 789 yards after contact and former 79 missed tackles according to Pro Football Focus.
It should be a big season for the preseason All-American running back. With a loaded offense, Bijan Robinson should still be a focal point of the offense for Steve Sarkisian.
As the season approaches, Longhorns Wire breaks down the junior running back’s situational stats. All statistics courtesy of Stats Perform.
