ATHENS — Branson Robinson won’t play in the G-Day Game, but the third-year tailback made it clear when he is healthy enough to play, everyone will know it.

“Don’t worry about the timeline, just know when I get back, it’s gonna be hell,” Robinson said on the Players Lounge Podcast this week. “I feel good now, I feel I can go out there now and play.

“(But) don’t worry about the timeline, just know when Branson comes back, you’re gonna know that I”m back.”

Robinson, a muscular 5-foot-10 and 220-pounder, suffered a season-ending injury (ruptured patella tendon) injury last August and Smart has indicated he’s expected to be cleared after spring drills.

Robinson was a Top 10 running back in the 2022 signing class who show promise with 341 yards on 68 carries during the 2022 national championship season, including a two-touchdown performance in the CFP title game win over TCU.

Robinson’s injury was a big setback in the Georgia running backs room last season, as Daijun Edwards was dealing with a sprained knee suffered in the preseason and Kendall Milton had a hamstring injury during the fall.

“We’ve got to win the natty, and no ifs, ands or buts about it, that’s the biggest goal, that’s just a different feeling,” Robinson said.

“Personal goals, I’m reaching more toward 1,200 or 1,300 yards, 10 touchdowns, Those are goals I know I can reach.”

The Heisman Trophy is attractive to all players, but Robinson noted the clear direction that award has taken.

“You talking Heisman, it’s a quarterback award, so Carson Beck,” Robinson said.

“I just know what I’m capable of, and what I can do once I’m back healthy.”
