OU football RB Xavier Robinson finally healthy, ready to show improvements for Sooners

After battling injuries last season, OU football running back Xavier Robinson looks to lead the Sooners' increasingly physical unit in 2026.

Norman — Oklahoma's junior running back Xavier Robinson has returned from injury and is ready to demonstrate his progress for the Sooners. The former Carl Albert High School standout has been fully involved in training camp following a season marred by injuries. Robinson expressed his gratitude to his teammates and coaches for their support during his recovery.

Now in his third year with the program, the elder statesman of the running backs unit has improved his field vision and decision-making, thanks to his new position coach, Deland McCullough. Robinson is poised to lead a group eager to prove they can match the intensity of North Carolina State transfer Lloyd Avant and freshman Jonathan Hatton Jr., who have also made an impact.

With the regular season set to begin against UTEP, Robinson is eager to show his teammates and the SEC that he can deliver.
