He played in the Senior Bowl all-star game.
Robinson (6-foot-3 1/2, 302 pounds, 34 5/8 arms, 10 1/2 hands) has a lot of power at the line of scrimmage and is continuing to hone his skills in pass protection.
With a thick, strong build and base of leverage, Robinson sustains blocks well, delivers strong contact and moves defenders out of the way. He is adept at pulling and reaching the second level to wall off linebacker.
Robinson is heavy handed with long arms.
A second-team All-Southeastern Conference selection last season, Robinson started all nine games.
As a junior he started all 12 games and earned the team’s Toughness award and strength and conditioning award. He blocked for 1,000-yard rusher and future Miami Dolphins draft pick De’Von Achane.
He became a starter as a sophomore.
At Manvel, he was an all-district and all-star game selection. He was named an Offensive Player of the Year finalist by the Houston Touchdown Club.
