Head coach James Franklin and assistant head coach Terry Smith are taking the coaches version of an official visit this weekend and meeting Robinson at his home.
College coaches are permitted one visit to a recruit’s house , and this visit is usually done in the weeks/days leading up to signing day, which is Dec. 21 this year.
Robinson (6-foot-4, 225 pounds) is a four-star linebacker prospect from Brashear High School in Pittsburgh. He committed to Penn State in July, choosing Franklin’s program over Miami and Virginia Tech, among other schools.
Robinson hasn’t had a chance to show off his skills on a Friday night in a while. Last October, he tore his ACL and MCL, and hasn’t played since, missing all of the 2022 season. Nonetheless, he, along with fellow four-star LB commit Tony Rojas, is expected to be a big part of the future of “LBU.” Robinson spent this Brashear season— which wrapped up in a mid-October— trying to help his teammates and the program however he could despite not playing.
“I’ve definitely been a coach to the players, my teammates,” Robinson told Nittany Sports Now soon after Brashear’s season ended. “Making sure they’re right and doing what they need to do.”
Of course, not playing has been difficult.
”It’s definitely been a hard, long process…,” he said. “Just standing on the sidelines every game.”
Robinson told Nittany Sports Now via text earlier this week that he’s “1000% committed to Penn State” and doesn’t “plan on visiting any other school.” He also said that he’s enrolling this winter, with Jan. 7, 2023 the exact date.
