Durell Robinson News, Rumors, Updates - Auburn Tigers

Not full participant in spring Robinson (undisclosed) was not a full participant in Colorado State's spring practice, The G5 Hive reports.

Impact In an interview with Kevin Lytle of The Coloradoan, the Colorado State reporter mentioned that Robinson was not 100 percent for some of the spring as he finished his overall recovery process dating back to 2025. Mel Brown was the Rams' No. 1 option at running back without him, and he will be Robinson's primary competition for the most carries come 2026. The latter remains a top RB for CSU nonetheless, and it is a matter of whether or not he can maximize his opportunities for rushing attempts next season.

Fort Collins bound Robinson will transfer to Colorado State, per his personal X account.

Impact Robinson will spend his fourth season of college football with his fourth different program. In 2025, he ran for 57 yards and a score on three carries with Auburn, but his best season came in 2024 when he tallied 806 total yards and eight touchdowns with UConn. Robinson should have two more seasons of eligibility remaining, where he'll re-unite with his former head coach in Storrs, Jim Mora.

Leaving Auburn Robinson will enter the transfer portal, per Justin Hokanson of On3.com.

Impact Robinson appeared in just four games for Auburn this season, tallying 57 yards and a score on three carries. He should have at least two seasons of eligibility remaining at what will now be his fourth program in as many years.

Off injury report Robinson (leg) isn't listed on Auburn's injury report ahead of Week 10 against Kentucky.

Impact Robinson was back at practice this week, and indeed, the tailback will be available to suit up against Kentucky. Robinson hasn't played since Week 2, and his carries should be somewhat limited behind Jeremiah Cobb and Omar Mabson.

Practices on Tuesday Robinson (leg) practiced Tuesday, Justin Ferguson of The Auburn Observer reports.

Impact Robinson practicing on Tuesday is a promising sign that Auburn's team will clear him going into Week 10. With the Tigers' run game lacking a bit of pop following Damari Alston's departure, them adding Robinson would be a welcome addition just for encouragement alone. Even though Robinson has only three rushing attempts this season, he averaged 19.0 yards per carry and scored one touchdown.

Expected to be cleared for Saturday Robinson (leg) is expected to be cleared for Saturday's game against Kentucky, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Robinson has been out since Week 2 with a leg injury, but he's finally set to make his return to the field against the Wildcats. While his current trajectory looks promising, the sophomore ball carrier's practice availability this week should be the true indicator of whether he can play.

Doing lots of personal work Robinson (leg) is doing a lot of personal work, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Auburn's latest practice saw Robinson stretching with the team, a sign of significant progress he has made since undergoing leg surgery. Going through a lot of personal work is a substantial improvement to the point that even though King expects Robinson out at least a few more weeks, perhaps he can be available by the time Auburn's November schedule begins. Robinson will miss games against Missouri and Arkansas, but facing a back-and-forth Kentucky team to begin November may help him acclimate to game action relatively quickly.

He was reportedly rushed to the hospital to treat his blood issue, and we don't have any timeline for Robinson other than the notion that he'll be out "a while."

Impact During 2024, as part of UConn, Robinson logged 107 carries for 731 yards and eight touchdowns. The excellence has continued during Auburn's fall camp, which indicates why he is in contention to remain a primary rusher despite joining an SEC team. Robinson's most proven competition, Damari Alston (undisclosed) and Jeremiah Cobb (finger) remain limited, so the UConn transfer's opportunities to stand out will continue.

After rushing for 731 yards and eight scores on 6.8 yards-per-carry, he still figures to be primed for a big role. Still, he'll need to wait until fall camp, at least, to be a full participant with the Tigers.
