Klein's Nicolas Robertson has verballed to Texas
Nicolas Robertson is on a roll.
The 6-foot-5, 300-plus pound offensive lineman from Klein High School has had a whirlwind month, welcoming a new head coach, committing to the University of Texas, and earning a prestigious Under Armour All-American Gameinvite—all in the span of 30 days.
After the hiring of former Fulshear coach Nick Codutti, who brings a blue-collar toughness and renewed energy to the Bearkat football program, Robertson’s path to the next level became even clearer.
"Nic is an extremely hard-working kid who I think hasn't even tapped into his potential yet," coach Nick Codutti said. "He is going to be a force to be reckoned with his senior year, and even more so going into college at the University of Texas."
“Coach Codutti brings a whole new vibe,” Robertson said. “I’m excited to play for him. I know he’s going to help us raise the bar.”
Shortly after the coaching transition, Robertson made a massive decision—committing to play for the Texas Longhorns.
“I really like the coaching staff,” he said. “Look, I want to be a National Champion and win the Outland Trophy. I think I can do that at Texas.”
His inspiration? Another Houston-area standout—Kelvin Banks of Summer Creek—who won the Outland Trophy at Texas and is projected as a top NFL Draft pick.
“To see a Houston guy like him do it? That’s crazy. That’s my goal.”
Robertson is slated to take his official visit to Austin in June, with other visits planned for Houston and USC.
Adding to the big month, Robertson earned an invite to the 2025 Under Armour All-American Game, marking a full-circle moment.
“I got an invite to play in the middle school All-American game back in eighth grade,” he said. “It’s really overwhelming to get this invite for my senior year. I’m really happy to represent Klein ISD.”
Now, with recruiting buzz behind him, Robertson is focused on finishing strong at Klein and helping the Bearkats return to the postseason.
“I’ve grown a little more and will be working on my footwork and keeping my pad level low,” he said. “I want to show everyone that I can play anywhere on the line.”
With size, strength, and serious motivation, Nicolas Robertson is one of Texas’ top trench warriors—and he’s just getting started.
