Jordan Robinson started his FBS football career in the SEC playing for Kentucky before moving to the Big 12 to play for Cincinnati. Now the class of 2021 product will spend his final year of college football playing in the ACC.

The 6-foot-4 cornerback entered the transfer portal last week and signed with Virginia on Friday.

The Columbia (S.C.) Bylthewood product spent the 2024 season for Cincinnati and head coach Scott Satterfield in his redshirt junior season. The cornerback played in 10 games for the Bearcats logging 228 defensive snaps. Robinson allowed just 42 receiving yards on 14 targets, according to PFF data.

Jordan Robinson spent his true freshman season in 2021 playing for Division II Livingstone College. The cornerback entered the transfer portal after that debut campaign and committed to Appalachian State before flipping to Kentucky. Robinson redshirted in 2022 before playing 11 games for the Wildcats in 2023. The cornerback decided to enter the transfer portal after the season and made the short drive from Lexington to Cincinnati.

Now the final stop will occur in Charlottesville playing for fourth-year head coach Tony Elliott. The Hoos are entering a pivotal year and have loaded up in the transfer portal with 20 additions. Robinson will play in the same secondary as former Lexington (Ky.) Frederick Douglass star Devin Neal who is on his third school after stops at Baylor and Louisville.
