New BYU RB Aidan Robbins Impresses with One-Handed Grab in Practice

The transfer running back continues to impress and push for the starting job at BYU

While all eyes of the college football world are focused on conference realignment, BYU is wrapping up its first week of Fall camp. BYU concluded its third practice on Thursday afternoon in the Indoor Practice Facility. BYU released a practice clip featuring various players. UNLV transfer running back Aidan Robbins was seen making an impressive one-handed grab.

Robbins was in a one-on-one drill against linebacker Ace Kaufusi when he jumped, reached back across his body, and secured the catch with one hand.

Aidan Robbins was a highly-touted recruit from Louisville, Kentucky in the class of 2019. He signed with nearby Louisville where he spent the first three years of his career. After three years with limited opportunities at Louisville, Robbins transferred to UNLV last season where he was the feature running back. Robbins took advantage of his increased role, running for 1,011 yards and 9 touchdowns. He arrived at BYU as the odds-on favorite to win the starting running back spot.

Robbins' ability to run the football is well documented, but he also showcased his receiving abilities at UNLV. Last season, he totaled 23 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown. If Robbins can be a consistent receiving threat at BYU, he will add another dimension to the offense in 2023.

Robbins joined the program in January in time for Spring camp. He underwent offseason wrist surgery, however, that limited all contact during the Spring. Through just three Fall practices, Robbins is quickly establishing himself as a key piece of BYU's offense.
