Robert Strait- Football (1990-93)
Congratulations to former Baylor running back, Robert Strait, who was recently inducted into the Cuero Sports Hall of Fame.
Strait had 41 games of 100 yards or more rushing during his Cuero career, including five 300-yard games — that featured a career-best 356 yards — and nine 200-yard games. Strait was second all-time in career rushing yards when he left Cuero, and remains in the top 10 in the Texas high school record book in eight rushing or scoring categories. His best season with Cuero came in his junior year when the Gobblers went 16-0 and won the state title.
Strait went on to play at Baylor where he lettered four years and rushed for 1,856 yards and 32 TDs. After leaving Baylor, he had a brief stint in training camp with the Cleveland Browns. Click here to read more about Strait’s accomplishments and induction into the Cuero Sports Hall of Fame.
