Four-star running back Tyson Robinson, who turned 16 last week, is drawing interest from some of the top college football programs in the nation. The 2027 class prospect has received offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, Florida, Oregon, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Missouri, with his latest offer from Matt Rhule's Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Nebraska running back coach EJ Barthel extended the offer on Friday. Robinson shared the news on X.
"After a good conversation with @CoachEJbarthel I’m blessed to receive an offer from Nebraska 🔴⚪ @coachwilliamsfb @shayhodge3 @shayhodge3 @MacCorleone74 @BHoward_11 @SWiltfong_ @samspiegsb @ChadSimmons_ @Zach_Berry @LawrencHopkins @Coach_Drew1," Robinson captioned.
So far this season, Robinson has accumulated 1,376 total yards and 24 touchdowns, averaging 7.2 yards per carry. He is ranked by the On3 Industry Rankings as the No. 71 overall prospect, the No. 4 running back in the 2027 class and the No. 5 recruit in Mississippi.
According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Ole Miss is the favorite in his recruitment, with a 50.0% chance of securing his commitment. The Rebels are also trending for multiple running back prospects in this cycle, including Jayden Miles, David Gabriel-Georges, Quinterrius Gipson and Mikel Stephen.
Ole Miss is followed by Alabama at 15.5%, Oklahoma at 13.3% and Florida at 11.1% in securing Tyson Robinson. He is just a sophomore star, so these predictions could drastically change when he starts taking visits in his junior season.
