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.
Planet Ford Stadium played host to some of the best football talent in the state as Under Armour and ESPN rolled into Houston for their annual Under Armour Next Camp this past weekend.
Elite players from the Houston area and beyond showcased their skills, competing for MVP honors and coveted invites to the Under Armour All-American Game or the Future 50 showcase.

The Coppell Cowgirls claim the 6A-D1 State Championship with a 6-2 win over Lake Travis
Matthew Ogle (VYPE)
The Coppell girls soccer program capped a remarkable season with a statement victory, overwhelming Lake Travis 6-2 on Saturday afternoon to secure the UIL 6A-Division I State Championship at Birkelbach Field.
In their fourth appearance in the State Tournament, the Cowgirls claimed their third state title — and first since 2015 — finishing the year with an impressive 22-2-3 record.
The Cowgirls entered the final as the No. 1-ranked team in Texas (MaxPreps) and proved worthy of that reputation with a dominant second-half surge.
Despite what the final score might suggest, the match remained tight deep early on in the second half. Coppell held a narrow 3-2 lead in the 48th minute before accelerating with three unanswered goals in the next ten minutes to put the game firmly out of reach.

“For us, we just wanted to make sure that we controlled the tempo of the game,” said head coach Craig Able. “We controlled possession, we connected passes — when we do that, we’ve been really tough to beat this year.
“I think once the girls settled into the game, they remembered that it’s just a game and we’re just doing the things we do well that got us to this point. I’m just so proud of them for all the hard work they put in. They’ve done it all.”
Led by a strong senior class and several standout performances, Coppell’s depth and cohesion were on full display. Junior forward Neerali Kapadia (Rice commit) was a force up top, scoring twice and earning a spot on the All-Tournament Team for her relentless energy and finishing touch.
Seniors Monica Morales (WashU) and Reagan Roberson (Dallas Baptist) also earned All-Tournament honors, with Morales finding the back of the net twice.
But it was senior midfielder Summer Chen (Gonzaga-commit) who earned 6A-Division I State MVP honors after a spectacular showing in the Final. Chen scored two goals and assisted Morales for another, helping to set the tone throughout the entire match.

“I’m still at a loss for words,” Chen said after the final whistle. “We just had it, and we knew what we were capable of. Our confidence in each other really showed, and we played to our style, which worked out for us.
“One of the mottos for this year has been ‘All Gas, No Brakes,’ because we had nothing to lose as seniors. At the end of the day, we left it all out there on the field.”
The win marks a historic moment for a Coppell team that embraced the pressure of expectations and delivered in emphatic fashion.

“They just believed in themselves and in each other,” said Coach Able. “All year long we preached our depth and how everyone contributes. Each girl bought into their role and into the system of how we do things as a team. I think everyone just saw all their work pay off.”
For a senior class that helped return Coppell to statewide prominence, Saturday’s win was the perfect ending — a blend of resilience, talent, and togetherness that defined their journey.
