The Salpointe Catholic High School graduate earned All-America honors for the University of Texas after rushing for 1,580 yards with 18 touchdowns.
Staff and wire reports AUSTIN, Texas — Tucson native Bijan Robinson is skipping his final two seasons of eligibility to enter the NFL draft and won't play in the Alamo Bowl.
Robinson is the fifth Tucsonan to ever rush for 1,000 yards in a season, according to research by the Star's Greg Hansen. The others: Ka’Deem Carey, Canyon del Oro/Arizona ; Mario Bates, Amphitheater/ASU and Jon Volpe, Amphitheater/Stanford People are also reading… “I’ve done everything that I tried to do in God’s plan for me while I’ve been here,” Robinson said at a news conference announcing the decision Monday. “It’s time to start the new journey. I’m just excited to figure out another part of my life, just like I tried to figure it out here.”
All three of the Texas running backs ahead of Robinson on the career list were top-five picks in the draft. Williams went fifth overall to New Orleans in 1999, Cedric Benson was taken fourth by Chicago in 2005 and Campbell was the No. 1 overall choice by Houston in 1978.
