Early years

Robinson grew up in Deerfield Beach, Florida, and attended Deerfield Beach High School. He finished his senior season with 41 tackles, four interceptions and four pass break-ups and was named first-team All-Class 8A. He was a four-star recruit, per ESPN.[1] Robinson initially committed to play college football at Florida before flipping his commitment to Alabama shortly before National Signing Day.[2][3]

College career

edit

Robinson began his collegiate career at Alabama. He played in 13 games as a true freshman as a reserve cornerback and on special teams. Robinson announced that he intended to transfer from Alabama during the summer before his sophomore year and ultimately chose to enroll at UCF.[4][5]

Robinson sat out his first year with the Knights per NCAA transfer rules.[6] He suffered a serious injury on the opening kickoff of his first game with the team and missed multiple weeks of his redshirt sophomore season.[7] As a redshirt junior, Robinson recorded 54 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and 10 pass breakups with one forced fumble and was named second-team All-American Athletic Conference (AAC).[8] Robinson was named second-team All-AAC again as a redshirt senior.
