WACO, Texas – Baylor football quarterback Sawyer Robertson has racked up a bevy of national and conference awards after his standout performance in BU’s 48-45 win at No. 17/16 SMU on Saturday.

Robertson was named the Associated Press’ National Player of the Week after leading the Bears back from a 14-point deficit to down the Mustangs in double overtime. Additionally, Robertson picked up Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors from the conference office on Monday, the third such honor of his career.

The senior signal caller threw for 440 yards and four touchdowns, completing 68% of his passes (34-for-50) without an interception, and added 20 rushing yards. With just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, Robertson engineered an eight-play, 72-yard scoring drive to bring BU within one possession. He then led a 10-play, 82-yard game-tying drive, connecting with Kobe Prentice with just 34 seconds remaining to send the game to overtime.

In the fourth quarter and both overtime periods combined, Robertson went 7-for-12 through the air for 127 yards and two scores.

Additionally, Robertson was named to the Manning Award Stars of the Week List and the Davey O’Brien Award’s Great 8 List. He was previously named to both awards’ 2025 watch lists in the preseason.

For the year, Robertson has completed 61-of-98 passes for 859 yards and seven touchdowns with no interceptions, becoming just the third college QB since 2000 to throw for at least 850 yards and 7 TDs without an INT to open a season. Robertson has put up the top two passing performances in the Football Bowl Subdivision after throwing for 419 yards against Auburn in the season opener.

Furthermore, Robertson became the first Big 12 QB to throw for 400 or more yards in the first two games of a season since Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes did so in 2016. Robertson joins Mahomes, Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden (2011) and Baylor’s Robert Griffin III (2011) as the only Big 12 quarterbacks in the last 15 years to throw for at least 400 yards in three-straight games.
