Robinson could be leaning toward Oklahoma at the moment but Oregon, Georgia, LSU and Arkansas are pushing hard as well.

Davison split time with the top-ranked all-purpose back in the 2024 class, Georgia signee Nate Frazier, and the Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei offense was a passing machine as well so his stats won’t be otherworldly but the five-star remains the best running back in the class so far.

Texas, Ohio State, Georgia and others are involved.

The Clemson commit moved from Massachusetts to Connecticut this year and now plays for a loaded Brunswick squad that boasts four of the top five players in the state.
