Coming off a season which he was awarded as the Big Ten Receiver of the Year, Robinson has been added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list. The Biletnikoff is given to the nation’s most outstanding receiver. Robinson, a starter in all 12 games for Penn State last season had a 1,013 yard season which was only the third occurrence in Penn State’s long and rich history. The only other Nittany Lion to perform such a feat was Bobby Engram. Last season Robinson led the Big Ten in four big categories with catches (77), receptions per game (6.4) receiving yards (1,013) and touchdowns (11). His eleven touchdown receptions were good enough to put him with the second most in school history in a season. In total Robinson put up 66 points and 1,013 all-purpose yards.

Zach Zwinak:

Coming off a season which he was an Honorable Mention for All-Big Ten honors, Zwinak has

been added to the Doak Walker Watch list.

During the 2012 season for the Nittany Lions Zwinak had the 22nd 1,000-yard rushing season in Penn State history. Only starting in the last four games and playing in ten of the twelve total games for Penn State, Zwinak was still able to put up exactly 1,000 yards. In the six games that he ran for over 100 yards the Nittany Lions were 5-1. His 1,000 yards and six touchdowns were enough to earn honorable mention All-Big Ten selection. In eight Big Ten games Zwinak complied 904 yards and averaged 113 per game but only compiled 96 yards during non-conference games combined.
