Colorado State running back Durell Robinson is making an impact with his play and his outlook. After an injury-limited season at Auburn, he has rebounded under coach Jim Mora, while his steady optimism has helped keep teammates motivated through a rough stretch.

By the Numbers
  • 383 rushing yards and 8 rushing touchdowns this season.
  • 7 catches for 70 yards and 1 touchdown.
  • 5 straight games with a touchdown.
  • At UConn in 2024, he rushed for 731 yards and 8 touchdowns.
Yes, But

Robinson’s positivity doesn’t mean he never gets discouraged. He says he feels those emotions, but works not to let them linger or define his response to setbacks.

State of Play
  • Robinson is sharing backfield work with Mel Brown and has delivered back-to-back games with at least 2 touchdowns.
  • His energy and consistency have made him a source of encouragement for teammates and a valued presence for Mora.
Bottom Line

Robinson’s return to form is giving the Rams a productive playmaker—and his focus on gratitude and the next play may be just as valuable as his scoring.
