There’s nothing more terrifying than a running back that’s bigger than linebackers and has freak athleticism. Bijan Robinson is a big running back out of Tucson with power and the ability to make plays all over the field.

He can catch in the open field just as well as he can run defenders over. Trying to arm tackle the 6’0″ and 200-pound running back just isn’t going to work at the next level. He’s destined for plenty of long touchdowns because of the burst he has once he gets rolling.

Robinson’s ability to do everything makes him a five-star recruit and one of the more sought after running backs. Defenders are going to have nightmares thinking about bringing down someone that’s faster and stronger.

UCLA is a lot closer to Tucson than Columbus certainly is, but the Buckeyes have developed some great running backs as a program.

Still, Chip Kelly is in the process of turning the Bruins around and landing some five-star recruits would really kick the process into gear. Robinson might have an easier time making a name for himself running over Pac-12 defenders than some of the stout defenses that exist in the Big Ten.

Prediction: UCLA
