Big-time college football drama just unfolded — and it’s sending shockwaves across the SEC and Big 12. Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Branson Robinson, one of the most physically dominant backs in recent recruiting history, has officially committed to Texas Tech, turning down a significant offer from Tennessee. Yes, you read that right. The Red Raiders just scored a massive win out of the transfer portal.
🏈 From Georgia to the Lone Star State
Robinson, a former 5-star recruit from Mississippi, arrived at Georgia with huge expectations — and for good reason. Built like a tank at 5-foot-10 and 220 pounds, he wowed scouts with his freakish strength and bulldozing power. During his limited time with the Bulldogs, he flashed serious potential, rushing for 330 yards and 3 touchdowns on just 68 carries, averaging nearly 5 yards per touch.
Unfortunately, injuries slowed his momentum in Athens, including a tough knee injury that sidelined him for most of the 2023 season. But now, fully recovered and hungry to prove himself, Robinson is looking for a new chapter — and he’s found it in Lubbock.
🔴 Why Texas Tech?
Robinson explained that his decision was about fit, opportunity, and trust. “Texas Tech made me feel like a priority from day one,” he said. “They have a plan for me, and I’m ready to help take this program to the next level.”
Head coach Joey McGuire has been aggressively building Texas Tech into a serious Big 12 contender, and landing a player like Branson Robinson is a statement. Not only does this boost their offense, but it puts them firmly in the national conversation heading into the fall.
💪 What He Brings
Make no mistake — Robinson isn’t just another name in the portal. He’s a game-changer. Known for his absurd strength (he reportedly squatted over 600 pounds in high school), he thrives between the tackles, breaks arm tackles with ease, and always fights for extra yards. Expect him to be a workhorse in the Red Raiders’ offense.
🚀 Red Raiders Are Rising
With Branson Robinson in the fold, Texas Tech fans have every reason to believe the best is yet to come. This isn’t just a transfer — it’s a new beginning for both a talented running back and a program on the verge of something special.
