This commitment is looking even better for Nebraska Football.
Another day another honor for a Nebraska football commitment. Quarterback Wandale Robinson was named the All-USA Kentucky Football Offensive Player of the Year. There is no denying that he had a tremendous year.
Robinson rushed for 1,973 yards and 30 touchdowns, while catching 31 passes for 725 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also proved to be a force on defense, recording 119 tackles in 2018.

The more awards he gets, the more excited I get about this kid. He can truly do it all, and should be a great addition to Nebraska’s talented group of running backs. The first thing you notice when you watch his highlights is his elusive speed. He is very tough to bring down, and he is athletic enough to spin and make defenders miss. He doesn’t have tremendous initial speed, but once he gets a full head of steam running down the field, he is difficult to stop. Particularly on plays like counters and screens, he should be able to be a tremendous asset to Nebraska’s offense both in the running and passing game.
He is the perfect fit for the modern era of football. More and more, we are seeing running backs who are relied upon to catch passes as well. The typical definition of a running back is being thrown out the window. Now, running backs are expected to be multi-skilled. Robinson certainly fits that mold, and if he can learn Nebraska’s playbook quickly, he could make an impact right away. Quarterback Adrian Martinez should have a fair amount of weapons in the passing game, and Robinson has a great chance to be a part of that.
More and more, this is looking like a great commitment for Nebraska football . Robinson keeps adding accolades to his trophy case, and if that is any indication, he should have a great career at Nebraska. It will be interesting to see how they incorporate him in this offense. He should be able to play the role of catalyst, and there is nothing better than being able to have a player like that in your backfield. Of course, he still has to hit the football field at the college level, but more and more this is looking like a big win on the recruiting trail for head coach Scott Frost.
Between Robinson and the rest of the playmakers on the offense, the unit could be a force in 2019. That would be bad news for the rest of college football.
