One running back is getting much attention for Saturday’s matchup between Alabama and the Longhorns, and its junior Bijan Robinson.
The veteran for Texas totaled 1,127 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns in 2021. He also caught four touchdowns last year.
As a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, Robinson touched the ball 13 times (10 rush attempts, three receiving) for 111 yards and two touchdowns versus Louisiana-Monroe. Alabama’s defensive coaching staff and players are focused on limiting him.
Robinson is explosive, but a back for the Tide is returning this week for homecoming against Texas.
Jase McClellan, a junior, is a native of Aledo, Texas.
