We are now only a few days away from the first kickoff of the 2022 college football season, and as always entertaining and widely debated preseason watchlists begin to finalize, ESPN has finally released their 2022 preseason All-America team, featuring the premier interior offensive lineman for the Aggies this season, redshirt junior offensive lineman Layden Robinson.
Now, if you haven’t already thought to yourself “wait, that’s it” let me remind you that star defensive back Antonio Johnson did not make the team at either corner or safety, presumably being replaced by standout safety for the Arkansas Razorbacks, Jalen Catalon. As a somewhat disrespectful snub towards Johnson who has already made over 14 preseason team and individual watchlists, we all couldn’t be prouder of Layden Robinson’s selection as one of the top offensive linemen in college football this season.
Here’s what ESPN Senior Writer Chris Low said about his selection of the standout right guard:
Jimbo Fisher has strengthened both lines of scrimmage at Texas A&M in recent years, and the 6-4, 330-pound Robinson is poised for a breakout season from his right guard position. This is his fourth year in the program, and he made his first career start a year ago. He has everything it takes to blossom into the top interior offensive lineman in college football this season.
In what could be his final season with the program, look for Layden Robinson to emerge as a surging NFL Draft prospect by midseason, as he aims to anchor a talented offensive line poised to be one of the reliable strengths for Jimbo Fisher and Co.
