Penn State football has a long and successful track record of recruiting players, especially defenders, from McDonogh high school in Maryland. The next in that line is three-star defensive end, Mason Robinson. The junior defender is heading into his senior season, holding an offer from Penn State, and is fresh off a visit to the school. He sits down with the host of the BWI Daily Edition, Thomas Frank Carr, to discuss his time in Happy Valley. They’ll also discuss his trip to South Carolina, his game, and T-Frank finishes the interview by getting to know Robinson better.

Mason Robinson recaps visit to Penn State

They start with Robinson’s trip last weekend to Penn State’s campus to watch practice and meet with the staff. First, Robinson takes a moment to thank the people that hosted him over the weekend. Next, he explains that he wanted to get to know defensive line coach John Scott Jr. more on his fourth trip to the school. The 6-3 defensive end came away impressed with Scott and the program overall. He also gives T-Frank insight into Penn State head coach James Franklin as a coach.

Next, Robinson lets T-Frank know who he met on the trip from a player level. There’s a long list of McDonogh players on the roster, and Robinson met them all. That includes fifth-year defensive tackle PJ Mustipher, whom he met for the first time. He gives some insight into the conversation they had as well.

Next, they pull back from Penn State and discuss what Robinson looks for from a school. Finally, he explains what environment he and his parents want for his next football destination.

Trip to South Carolina

With that in mind, T-Frank asks about Robinson’s trip to South Carolina on April 4th. Robinson gives his impressions of the school, the football program, and what he thought of the weather.

Robinson discusses his game

After that, they shift to discussing Robinson’s game on the field. After discussing some of the Maryland native’s favorite pass-rushing moves in their last conversation, they look instead at his approach to the game mentally. First, t-Franks asks Robinson to describe himself as a football player and then discusses what he’s seen of the McDonogh edge rusher on film. From there, they discuss film study, his father’s influence on him, and what he has in store for himself from a physical growth perspective.

Finally, they wrap up with some “get to know you” questions.
