Recently 247 Sports put together their list of top quarterbacks for the 2020 season which included Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger. The next list of projections from 247 is the running backs. On this particular list one Texas running back made the list which included plenty of talented backs. Bijan Robinson comes in at number 23.
One of two true freshman in this Top 25, Robinson — a five-star — could flourish as a first-year player with the Longhorns after rushing for more than 7,000 yards at the prep level. He was the crown jewel in an impressive haul for Tom Herman.
The fact that a true freshman running back that has yet to take a snap for a team, much less actually stepped foot on his new campus is quite the compliment. There has been plenty of hype surrounding the number one running back in the country according to 247 composite rankings. Much of it is warranted considering what he was able to accomplish on the field in Arizona.
Other Big 12 running backs to make the list:
- 1: Chuba Hubbard, Oklahoma State
- 10: Breece Hall, Iowa State
- 13: Pooka Williams, Kansas
- 20: Kennedy Brooks, Oklahoma
The Big 12 has plenty of talent at the position and which running back will stand the tallest by the end of the season will be exciting to watch. The Longhorns have three running backs who will likely be in the mix during 2020 season. However, Bijan Robinson should be the one who stands tallest for the Longhorns by seasons end.
