WATCH: 4-star RB, UCLA commit Roderick Robinson II makes spectacular touchdown run
San Diego (Calif.) Lincoln four-star running back and UCLA commit Roderick Robinson II is getting ready for his senior season. The tailback is the No. 283 overall prospect and No. 14 running back in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
He recently showcased the athleticism and play-making ability that earned him offers from the Bruins and multiple programs across college football. After taking a handoff, Robinson II was met by a defender in the backfield. However, he spun out of the tackle, ran backwards and then took off down the right sideline for a touchdown.
The 6-foot-1, 238 pound running back committed to UCLA on May 26. He is the highest-ranked prospect in the Bruins’ 2023 recruiting class.

Robinson II has an On3 NIL Valuation of $18.3K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Robinson II had a strong performance at the UA Next Camp Series
The tailback performed at the UA Next Camp Series in Los Angeles in March. According to On3’s Joseph Hastings, Robinson II was the fourth-best performer at the showcase. More than 100 prospects were on hand for the camp.
“From a physical standpoint, Roderick Robinson was the biggest running back at Sunday’s camp,” Hastings wrote. “He was listed on the UA roster at 6-foot-1, 230 pounds, and could have easily fooled us into thinking he is a linebacker if he made the switch to that position. On top of looking the part physically, Robinson moved well for his size. There were not any plays where he burned linebackers in the passing portion of the camp, but his cuts to the outside and even some routes down the sidelines were effective. Robinson did not drop any passes from what we saw and created enough separation for his quarterback to deliver him the ball without having to fit it into tight windows.”
