A classroom at an Austin public charter school was in for quite a surprise this week.

A group of students at Austin Harmony School of Excellence was asked if missing school on Thursday to carry some boxes would be okay.

A day off from class? They agreed. But, the students’ enthusiasm really came out when asked to chat with Texas Longhorns running back Bijan Robinson. The classroom erupted.

Robinson spent time with the school’s football team on Thursday, answering questions.

This is dope…#Texas RB Bijan Robinson will be donating more than $3,000 worth of backpacks to Austin Harmony School of Excellence on Thursday

The boxes in question were filled with backpacks, as Robinson donated $3,000 worth of them to the school.

Robinson tweeted, “Just wanting to be a blessing!”

Austin Harmony School of Excellence is approximately seven miles away from DKR Texas Memorial Stadium, where Robinson is entering his junior season.
