It is certainly no secret that Bijan Robinson is among the nation’s best at his position, and simply just in general.
This season very well could end up being his last as a Longhorn should he decide to forgo his senior year and take his talents to the next level. Robinson has widely been regarded as one of the nation’s best players as prior to Texas’ horrendous stretch of collapses in 2021, he was consistently mentioned in Heisman talks. It’s something that has continued this offseason, as he is already being considered one of the nation’s top Heisman candidates for 2022.
247Sports not only sees the generational talent in Robinson at the college level, but also sees the potential he has to be a star in the NFL. They released their top-20 eligible draft players for 2022 on Wednesday, and Robinson graced this list with players such as Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Will Anderson.

Robinson is in the top-10, and is the highest ranked running back on the list ahead of Zach Evans (Ole Miss), Jahmyr Gibbs (Alabama), and Devin Achane (Texas A&M).
In two years as a Longhorn, Robinson has rushed for 1,830 yards and 15 touchdowns, all while averaging 6.5 yards per carry.
Texas will need another huge season from Robinson in order to compete for a Big 12 title, as he looks to become the first Longhorn running back taken in the first round since Ricky Williams in 1999.
