Edward Robinson brings burst, versatility, and big-play upside to Southern Illinois’ offense
In the 2025 season, Edward Robinson showed he can be more than a one-dimensional runner, posting 655 rushing yards on 91 carries (7.2 per carry) with 19 catches for 112 yards and three total touchdowns for Southern Illinois. He flashed true home-run ability with three 100-yard games and a career-long 145-yard outing, and his 2026 early usage suggests he remains part of the plan. The appeal here is juice: efficient, explosive, and useful in the pass game — a back who can tilt a defense and keep a playbook flexible.
