TUCSON, Ariz — Salpointe running back Bijan Robinson will play college football at The University of Texas, becoming the first Tucsonan to play for the Longhorns.

Robinson is a five-star recruit and considered to be the third best running back in the nation, according to recruiting website 247sports.com. He rushed for a Salpointe school record 35 touchdowns last year, and he has 72 career touchdowns.

Robinson reportedly chose the Longhorns over USC, Alabama, and Ohio State.
