“Running backs turn into sh*t”: CFB fans react to former 5-star RB Branson Robinson entering transfer portal amid interest from Colorado

Branson Robinson is looking for a new football program to hone his skills and play regularly. A former five-star running back in the 2022 class, Robinson entered the transfer portal on Wednesday.

The Georgia Bulldogs' RB was highly ranked coming out of high school. However, he struggled to find consistent playing time with the Bulldogs due to a crowded backfield. Injuries didn't help him either.

So far, the RB has attracted interest from several top programs, including the Clemson Tigers, North Carolina Tar Heels, Colorado Buffaloes and Miami Hurricanes.

Fans were quick to express their reactions to his decision. One fan said:

​

​

“[Running] backs turn into sh*t when they go to Colorado.”

​

​

“Oh man, that's so sad, but hopefully, he can be healthy and get drafted where he belongs," an X user wrote.

Another fan tweeted, “Can’t blame him, loaded Georgia RB room, he hasn’t been able to stay healthy I wish him the best, kids a stud when healthy.”

One fan posted, “Unfortunate. I hate to see Branson go. We never got to see him in action.”

“Damn. Wish he had stayed healthy,” another said.

“Hate to see him go and pray that he has enough football sense to stay away from that circus at Colorado," one more tweeted.
