Bijan Robinson named All-Big 12; 7 local standouts named NAIA Scholar Athletes

Former Salpointe standout Bijan Robinson was named to the All-Big 12 First Team on Wednesday.

According to a release from Texas, Robinson was one of four unanimous selections and earned first-team accolades for the second-straight year. The Tucson, Ariz. native leads the nation in tandem yards with 1,894 (1,580 rushing, 314 receiving) and is second in total touchdowns (20) while averaging a Big 12-best 131.7 rushing yards and 157.83 all-purpose yards per game. He has nine 100-yard rushing games in the last 10 outings, including a pair of 200-yard efforts, and has rushed for a touchdown in 10 of 12 games this year with multiple rushing touchdowns on five occasions. Robinson has tallied 100 yards from scrimmage 11 times and notched 200-plus yards on three occasions. He has 18 plays (11 rushes, 7 receptions) of 20-plus yards this season, including touchdown runs of 78, 42, 41, 40, 36 and 31 yards. Additionally, he ranks fourth nationally in rushing touchdowns (18), fifth in rushing yards (1,580), all-purpose yards (157.83 ypg) and points scored (120), and sixth in rushing yards per game (131.7), while leading the Big 12 in each category. His 1,580 rushing yards on the year are the seventh-most in a season in program history, while his 18 rushing touchdowns and nine 100-yard rushing games are the fifth-most.

Several standout from Southern Arizona were named NAIA Scholar Athletes:
Volleyball: Dalia Haase (Marana) Embry-Riddle.
Soccer: Shana Brown (Ironwood Ridge) Midland, Arianna Flores (Mountain View) Midland, Aryanna Sanchez (Salpointe) Embry-Riddle, Katelyn Kelch (Catalina Foothills) Embry-Riddle, Gabriela Strevay (Cienega) Embry-Riddle, Haley Harris (Cienega) Embry-Riddle.

This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know. amoralesmytucson@yahoo.com
