Shawn Robinson was, frankly, underwhelming through two starts in 2018. In fact, little about the first three starts told TCU fans, with any certainty, that he was going to be a star.
After quarterbacking DeSoto to a state championship as a senior, the Texas Gatorade Player of the Year had the pedigree, the stars, and the tape to tell you he had the talent. He arrived at TCU as an early-enrollee amid much fanfare, the heir-apparent to Kenny Hill, the (then) highest-rated quarterback recruit to sign with Horned Frogs.
As per usual, Robinson became the most popular player on TCU’s team - the backup quarterback.
