Bijan Robinson, who joined elite company as one of the most prolific running backs in Texas history, announced on Monday that he is forgoing his final season with the Longhorns, will be entering the NFL draft and will not play in the Valero Alamo Bowl.

"I've done everything that I tried to do in God's plan for me while I've been here," Robinson said. "It's time to start the new journey. I'm just excited to figure out another part of my life, just like I tried to figure it out here."

Robinson, a Tucson, Arizona native, leaves Austin fourth on the all-time rushing list at Texas, with his 3,410 career yards ranking behind only Ricky Williams (6,279), Cedric Benson (5,540) and Earl Campbell (4,443). He became the first Texas player with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons since Vince Young in 2004-2005, and won the Doak Walker award this year as the best running back in college football.
