Should he leave school early, Texas junior running back would be a probable first-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He has rushed for 1,580 yards this year and ranks second nationally in yards from scrimmage per game .AUSTIN — Last Sunday night, about six hours after Washington formally accepted an invitation to play Texas in this year's Alamo Bowl, star Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. announced he was returning for the 2023 season.
Instead of getting ready for the 2023 NFL draft in lieu of his team’s upcoming trip to San Antonio, Penix decided to run it back. If only Texas could have received similar news about one of its potentially outgoing playmakers. Sarkisian didn’t single anyone out, but odds are he was referring to junior running back Bijan Robinson.Last month, Robinson said he would “assess everything” once Texas finished its regular season. As of Friday, there’s been no formal announcement made regarding Robinson’s future, either by himself, his team or his coach.
Robinson didn’t receive an invitation to Saturday's Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York City even though a reasonable case could be made that he was the best player in the nation in 2022. And as a potential first-round pick who plays a bruising position with a short professional shelf life, Robinson is expected to declare for the 2023 NFL draft in the coming weeks.
