After taking in a win by the Texas Longhorns volleyball program earlier on Thursday, junior running back Bijan Robinson was named the 2022 Doak Walker Award winner in the evening, becoming the fourth player in school history to earn that recognition, joining Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, and D’Onta Foreman.
The nation leader in tandem yards with 1,894 (1,580 rushing, 314 receiving), Robinson is second in total touchdowns (20) while averaging a Big 12-best 131.7 rushing yards and 157.8 all-purpose yards per game. Over the last 10 games of the season, Robinson tallied nine 100-yard rushing performances, including two games over 200 yards, and scored touchdowns in 10 of the 12 games for the Longhorns.
