The first national signing day for college football is Wednesday, December 3. This series will give you the chance to familiarize yourself with the next class charged with keeping Texas near the top of the college football world.

To win at a consistently high level requires talented class after talented class. The top-10 2026 class does that following a No. 1 class in 2025.

On the first national signing day, Inside Texas will offer profiles of each member of the 2026 signing class. Up next, Nicolas Robertson.

The Player: Nicolas Robertson, OL, Spring (Texas) Klein

The Rating: 88.82 (three-star)

The Ranking: Robertson is ranked as the No. 444 overall prospect, the No. 42 IOL, and the No. 56 player in Texas in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Rivals ranks Robertson as the No. 58 IOL and the No. 88 player in Texas.

The Highlights:

The Recruitment: Robertson’s recruitment was no-nonsense. He camped in June of 2024 to earn his offer. During a spring 2025 visit, he committed. Other top-end teams like Alabama and Penn State offered, as did Texas A&M, USC, and LSU, but Robertson hopped in as an interior lineman addition.

The Projection: Robertson is the sort of player we may see Texas target more often moving forward. He’s listed as “only” being 6-foot-4 but the advantage of being willing to take sub 6-foot-5 offensive linemen is the greater likelihood you get the sort of mobility and explosive pop that Robertson offers. When Robertson hits defenders, you can see the effects of the shock of impact. It’s possible he could be quick enough to play at right tackle, but he’ll almost certainly end up at guard eventually. Robertson has the quickness and physicality to execute Texas’ wide range of run concepts. — Ian Boyd
