For the second straight season, Xavier Robinson is the MaxPreps Oklahoma High School Football Player of the Year.

High school sports outlet MaxPreps announced the state-by-state awards Tuesday, and Robinson won after securing back-to-back Class 5A state championships with Carl Albert. The senior OU commit joins Micah Alejado of Bishop Gorman in Nevada and Jadyn Davis of Providence Day in North Carolina as the only players to win their states’ awards this year and last year.

Robinson wasn't the only Oklahoman to receive MaxPreps recognition. Fellow OU commit David Stone, a five-star IMG Academy defensive lineman who grew up in Del City, was named a first-team MaxPreps All-American.

Robinson rushed for 1,789 yards and 34 touchdowns on 229 carries this season, averaging 7.8 yards per attempt. He also had 12 receptions for 126 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
