AUSTIN, Texas — Since Steve Sarkisan took over as the head coach on the Forty Acres, the Texas Longhorns leaned heavily on Alabama Crimson Tide transfer Keilan Robinson on special teams — Robinson earned an invite to the NFL Combine in large part because of his contributions to the third phase across 551 special teams snaps in burnt orange and white.
In addition to recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown in the 2022 season opener, Robinson also blocked a punt that season and returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown against Texas Tech last November.
