HAMPTON, Virginia -- Hampton University's three returning tailbacks rushed for a combined 307 yards on 69 carries last season. Paul Robertson ran 32 times for 426 yards in one game.
Now there's no overstating the jump from high school to college football, but those jarring numbers illustrate the impact Robertson could have as a true freshman at Hampton this year after a breakout 2012 at L.C. Bird High School near Richmond.
"Paul has a great opportunity," Pirates coach Donovan Rose said. "It's a matter of who comes in and is ready to go. We don't start practice until July 31. I can tell you a little more once I see him in a Hampton uniform."
Fans can catch Robertson in uniform ...
Paul Robertson (5-10/190) rushed for 2,935 yards (14 games) for undefeated L.C. Bird High School, Richmond during the 2012 season, winning Virginia's Division 6 (highest classification) State Championship. Robertson was named player of the year by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
