Robinson is coming off of another successful season, running for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Over the offseason, the Heisman candidate has kept busy, recently announcing his sixth NIL deal on Instagram, a partnership with Lamborghini Austin.
“When Dreams turn into Reality,” Robinson said in his Instagram caption. “God, I’m Grateful.”
According to ESPN, ‘this car deal comes shortly after Miami basketball transfer Nijel Pack reportedly signed a deal that earns him $800,000 over two seasons and a car. It seems like more car companies, and other companies using cars as incentives to sign, are starting to invest in college athletes.’
