Fredrick Robertson, Alcorn State RB: the 2026 season story
Fredrick Robertson is a sophomore running back for Alcorn State (SWAC). He ranks 221st of 575 running backs in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every running back on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked running back, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Fredrick Robertson's strongest measure is receiving yards per game at 24, 13th of 299 (the average is 9). His weakest is yards per carry at 3.0, 296th of 299 (the average is 5.1).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His rush yards per game, 44, ranks 149th among 299 ranked running backs.
Against every running back
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked running backs he sits, on average, in the 74th percentile for volume, 21st for efficiency and 87th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 10 games, Fredrick Robertson's best came in week 9 at Mississippi Valley State and his quietest in week 1 at Southern Miss.
When it matters
Why it matters. Third downs, the red zone and games against good teams are where drives and seasons are decided.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every running back on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Fredrick Robertson is 57th of 276 FCS running backs and 4th of 27 in the SWAC. Next up nationally is Jaylen Jenkins of Stephen F. Austin, 0.00 ahead on the index.
Running backs like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Ja'briel Mace of Villanova.
