Alamo Bowl Football

Texas running back Bijan Robinson ran wild in the Alamo Bowl last week, putting up numbers similar to what he did at Salpointe Catholic High.

The last time we checked on Bijan Robinson, he was shredding Colorado in last week's Alamo Bowl, posting 220 yards from scrimmage and scoring three touchdowns in the Longhorns' 55-23 win.

That kind of performance β€” on national television, no less β€” is bound to get a guy some attention.

Robinson has been listed at 16-to-1 to win next season's Heisman Trophy, according to odds released Tuesday by BetOnline.ag. The Salpointe Catholic High School graduate is listed below Oregon quarterback Tyler Shough and Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels, and shares the 16-to-1 odds with Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy, a Phoenix product.

Yet another Phoenician, Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler, is the oddsmakers' favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. He is listed at 5-to-1, ahead of Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei and North Carolina's Sam Howell.

Robinson was a breakout star as a true freshman, rushing 86 times for 703 yards and four touchdowns and catching 15 passes for 196 yards and two scores.

This year's Heisman Trophy winner will be announced Tuesday night.
