Texas RB Bijan Robinson leading the country in missed tackles forced
Texas running back Bijan Robinson is off to a great start to his junior season.
Opposing defenses are having a difficult time bringing down the superstar ball carrier. Robinson leads the nation in missed tackles forced according to Pro Football Focus.
Robinson is totaling 414 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on a 6.2 yards per carry clip through four games for the Longhorns. Up from his 5.8 yards per carry mark in 2021. He has added eight catches for 154 yards and one score through the air as well.
Bijan is among the top of the country in nearly every running back stat thus far.
With quarterback Quinn Ewers and wide receiver Xavier Worthy nursing injuries, expect Texas to continue to lean on Robinson to pace the offense moving forward.
Texas host West Virginia this weekend in an important Big 12 Conference matchup.
