4-star DL D'antre Robinson commits to Florida Gators

Orlando Jones four-star defensive lineman D’antre Robinson has committed to Florida.

He chose the Gators after being released from his National Letter of Intent with Texas on Jan. 16.

Robinson is the No. 273 overall prospect and No. 28 DL in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 35 player in Florida.

The Gators land a late, but very welcomed addition to the defensive line room in the 6-foot-3.5, 315-pound Robinson. UF was a finalist for his pledge back in July, but lost out to the Longhorns.

Robinson then signed with Texas in December, but following the departure of UT D-line coach Bo Davis, asked and was granted his NLI release, leading him to Gainesville soon after. He’s now the third DL to join Billy Napier’s 2024 class, alongside Daytona Beach (Fla.) Mainland Five-Star Plus+ DL LJ McCray and Fairburn (Ga.) Creekside three-star Michai Boireau.

D’antre Robinson Scouting Summary

On3’s Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes this about Robinson as a prospect:

“Active interior defensive lineman with readymade size and the ability to disrupt. Measured in at 6-foot-3.5, 315 pounds prior to his senior season. Has solid length and a big frame with 33-inch arms and 10-inch hands. Has a wide, barrel-chested build. Added well over an inch in height over his junior season. An active defender on Friday nights, playing for one of the top high school programs in Central Florida. Strong at the point of attack. Uses his stout build to take on and defeat double teams. Capable of making plays outside the typical defensive lineman’s range of influence. Can fight within a phone booth. Isn’t always asked to pin his ears back, but makes plays when he does.

…A light-footed mover who is capable of explosive finishes in the backfield. Able to convert speed to power as a pass rusher. Tallied 79 tackles, 10 sacks and 19 tackles for loss as a senior, showing encouraging improvement in his final prep campaign. Has the versatility to be an every down player along the defensive line and would bring good movement skills and athleticism as a nose tackle. Can continue improving his first-step quickness and constituency in his jump off the snap. Older for the cycle. May be closer to his physical and athletic upside than others with developmental body types, but presents a high floor.”
