Defense coordinator Murphy Smith believes Robinson could play running back or defensive back in college:
"I had him at linebacker on defense and most people didn’t have an answer for him. He wasn’t afraid to get up through the gaps if he needed. He has a knack for the football. On offense, he didn’t mind if it was a toss play or up the gut, he could hit it."
Great attitude:
"He has an unbelievable positive attitude. He isn’t afraid to go above and beyond. Even when he broke his wrist he didn’t give up. That was Week 10, but sat out and got cleared for the championship against Junction City and had a stellar game."
