Robertson to Serve as Counselor at The Manning Passing Academy

WACO, Texas -- Standout quarterback Sawyer Robertson will represent Baylor at The Manning Passing Academy, June 26-29, in Thibodaux, La.

Robertson, a native of Lubbock, Texas, will join the nation’s top quarterbacks as counselors at The Manning Passing Academy on the campus of Nicholls State in late June. The Academy features some of the nation’s top high school QBs, including 50 college QBs and 85 coaches, and an executive staff that includes Archie Manning, Cooper Manning, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound product of Lubbock Coronado High School, Robertson is coming off a splashing debut in his first season as a starter, where he quickly became one of the top QBs in the nation. He ranked fifth in college football in QBR, while throwing for 3,071 yards with 28 TDs and eight interceptions, completing 62.2 percent of his passes. He rushed for 230 yards and four TDs and owned the seventh-best passing efficiency rating (153.1) in program history.

Robertson threw the sixth-most TDs in single-season BU history and ranks among the program career record holders in passing yards, passing efficiency and completion percentage after his first season as the starter. He threw for 300+ yards four times and had standout games vs. BYU (324 yards, three TDs), at Texas Tech (274 yards, five TDs at Texas Tech), at West Virginia (329 yards, three TDs), and vs. LSU (445 yards, two TDs).

Baylor opens its 2025 season on Aug. 29 vs. Auburn at McLane Stadium. The game will be televised live on FOX and broadcast live on the Baylor Sports Media Network.
