Early life and high school

Robinson grew up in Canton, Ohio and attended and initially attended Timken High School, where he played basketball and was the starting quarterback on the football team.[1] After his sophomore year Timken was closed and merged into Canton McKinley High School. Robinson planned to focus on basketball at McKinley, but he was persuaded to continue playing football by McKinley head football coach Dan Reardon.[2] Robinson was rated a two-star recruit and committed to play college football at Miami University, which was his only Division I FBS program to offer him a scholarship.[3]

College career

Robinson was moved from quarterback to wide receiver during his freshman season after determining he would receive more playing time at a different position.[2] As a sophomore, He caught 13 passes for 156 yards and four touchdowns.[4] Robinson averaged 21.1 yards per catch on 14 receptions for a total of 296 yards during his junior season. Going into his senior year Robinson changed positions again to defensive end after falling down the depth chart at wide receiver.[5] He had two sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss in three games played during Miami's COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. Robinson decided to utilize the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played in the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic and return to Miami for a fifth season.[6][2] In 2021, he had 28 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks and was named third team All-Mid-American Conference.[7]
