Rushes for over 100 yards Robinson notched 21 carries for 114 yards and reeled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 26-20 win over Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Robinson split carries with Braylon McReynolds once again, combining for 37 attempts to help bolster a UAB offense that needed a spark while the passing game struggled. It was a heavy workload for the running back, who rushed for over 100 yards and carried the ball more than 20 times for the first time in his career.

Impact Robinson logged a team-high in carries (14) and rushing yards (59) along with recording the team's first touchdown of the season on a 10-yard reception. The transfer running back took the initial snaps in the backfield for UAB's offense to start the game, but Bam McReynolds emerged as the second back, finishing with 13 carries for 56 yards. The duo will likely continue to split snaps against Louisiana-Monroe next Saturday.

Impact Just a few days after missing UAB's weekend scrimmage, Robinson is on the field preparing himself for the 2026 Blazers' season opener at Illinois. Where the running back's availability for then stands is unknown, but it is probable at worst as the calendar inches closer to Sept. 3.

DNP for scrimmage with precautionary measure Robinson (undisclosed) did not play Saturday's scrimmage as a precautionary measure, Steve Irvine of BhamBanner.com reports.

Impact As expected, Robinson has enrolled at UAB, and for the Blazers' fall camp, their latest scrimmage did not include him. It turns out Robinson was dealing with a soft-tissue problem, but it is considered minor, so much so that the running back looks probable for Week 1. UAB will look to have what may be the team's best running back then, considering the Blazers are scheduled to visit Power Conference team Illinois for their season-opener.
