Tyson Robinson, a 6‑foot‑2 running back from Brandon, Mississippi, has become known across the state as the ‘Pizza man’ after delivering touchdowns that feel as satisfying as a hot slice.
At the center of a storied program, Robinson has amassed 2,955 rushing yards and 53 touchdowns over his high school career, numbers that have propelled him to the No. 8 spot among Mississippi prospects and No. 15 nationally among running backs.
His performance has attracted the attention of powerhouse programs, with offers from Ole Miss, Alabama, Ohio State, Miami and Tennessee, positioning him as one of the most coveted recruits in the 2026 class.
Brandon High School, a school that has reached the state title game four times without ever securing a championship, is now counting on a senior class that Robinson believes can finally break the drought.
Coach Eugene Clinton’s Vision
Coach Eugene Clinton, who has mentored Robinson since his freshman year, says the senior’s work ethic and natural talent rank among the best he has seen in the program’s history, and he is confident that the team’s chemistry will translate into a title run.
The excitement in Brandon extends beyond the field, as alumni and local businesses rally behind the team, hoping the ‘Pizza man’ will deliver more than just yards on the gridiron.
