A three-star prospect coming out of high school, per 247Sports, and member of USU’s 2020 recruiting class, Robinson played in four games for the Aggies last season — against Boise State, Fresno State, New Mexico and Air Force. The cornerback finished his true freshman season with eight tackles and a sack. He recorded a career-best five tackles in his first career start, against Fresno State.
At 5-10, 165 pounds, Robinson was the 20th-best recruit in the state of Utah his senior year of high school and helped the Tigers to a third consecutive state title, finishing with 38 tackles and six interceptions.
Robinson entered the transfer portal earlier this month, on Feb. 1, declaring in a tweet, “New chapter.”
