On Friday evening Ta’Mere Robinson, a four-star athlete out of Brashear High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, made his commitment to Penn State. Robinson chose Penn State after late charges from ACC rivals Miami and Virginia Tech.
Robinson is the second linebacker to pledge his commitment to Penn State in as many days as on Thursday, Tony Rojas, another four-star linebacker. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Robinson had 28 offers and was considered the best prospect in Pennsylvania before he tore his ACL and MCL in October. He is currently the number three recruit in Pennsylvania, the number 13 edge rusher in the country, and the No. 137 player nationally.
Scouts are intrigued about what position he will play at Penn State because he has lined up at linebacker, edge rusher, safety, and slot corner for Brashear. Scouts love his agility, athleticism, and a nose for the football. Robinson is a sure tackler that always gets ball carriers on the ground as he closes in on ball carriers. He can rush the passer just as well as he can set the edge in the run game.
When I look at the tape on Robinson, there is one player that sticks out to me on who he compares to, and that is another great Penn State linebacker, LaVar Arrington–ironically from the Pittsburgh area. Robinson’s rehab and recovery is reportedly doing well ,and is ready to prove once again that he is one of the best defenders in Pennsylvania.
Robinson will join Lamont Payne, J’ven Williams, Jameial Lyons, Joey Schlaffer, Yazeed Haynes, and London Montgomery for in-state commits for the Class of 2023.
