Texas RB Bijan Robinson eyes Longhorns turnaround, discusses challenge of living up to hype
ON DECOMMITTING FROM OHIO STATE AND FLIPPING TO TEXAS:
"I was sold on Ohio State. A week and a half before I committed, I called the Ohio State coach and said, ‘I’m committed here. I’m going to shut down the recruiting, all that stuff.’ And it was Coach Tony Alford, the running backs coach. He recruited me really really hard. He kinda took out all the running backs. He's like, 'You’re my guy.' I committed there and I had CJ Stroud, I had Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I had so many dudes. It looked great. It looked dope. And then a week started going by and I had an ill feeling about it. I started praying a lot like, ‘God help me, please clear this up for me.’ Because it just didn’t feel like all the way right. I knew that Texas was the place for me the whole time, but I had a lot of people in my ear saying Ohio State is it. And I bought into it.
"So that week I’m praying, I’m asking my mom to pray with me, and it was hard during that week because in the middle of the week, I had to call the coach back and be like, ‘I can’t come here.’ That was the hardest call. That was the first grown-up conversation I had with somebody depending on me to do something that I just said, and then telling them I’m not doing that no more. Just calling him and being like, ‘Man, I just can’t do this. I’m sorry I told y'all I’m coming here, I can’t come here, I know Texas is the place I need to go to.’ That call was hard, that call was difficult, even telling the Texas coaches that I’m not coming there and then I’m coming there, it was a weird week for me but I learned a lot. I called the Texas coaches and I felt like a liar. Last week, this wasn’t the place. This week, it is the place.”

Did they pray for a new Trans Am and have one show up in the driveway?
