“BBN,”

“First I want to thank god for putting me in the position that I am in today. Without the talent and gifts he blessed me with I wouldn’t be here today. I want to thank my family and friends for supporting my dream and being with me every step of the way.”

“I want to thank both the Universities I attended for giving me a chance to play at this level. Thank you to the coaches who poured into me and helped me develop into the man I am today. To my brothers I’ve had the chance to form life long relationships with and share the field with I want to thank you as well. Those memories will never be forgotten, and will always be close to my heart.”

“It’s been an amazing 5 years in college. But this chapter of my life is coming to an end. With that being said I will be declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft.”

This season, he hauled in 37 catches for 507 yards and four touchdowns. In 2022 for the Wildcats, he had 40 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns.

Robinson spent the first three seasons of his college football career with the Virginia Tech Hokies. He hauled in over 550 receiving yards in back-to-back seasons (2020 and 2021), while also bringing in over 400 receiving yards in 2019.
