It feels like PSU has really developed some great athletes. I am thinking of guys like Saquon, Parsons, Oweh...guys that just freaked out athletically as the NFL evaluates players.

He certainly LOOKS like a player - and there is more to the impact of a player than just stats:
Yet somehow, for the entire 2023 season, he managed 12 tackles and 4 sacks (2 of which came in the scrimmage vs UMass)
That is a head-scratcher.

He also had a really high win % rate per PFF. I never thought much about it but Robinson only played 298 snaps last year; compared to 387 for Isaac and 429 for DDS. Think he was *injured*....

Yep. He missed a couple games (but I think he did play in 10)

PSU rotates more than most

Both of those would impact his accumulation of stats.

At the same time, he had the advantage a lot of guys don't have, in that opposing teams couldn't just always shade protection his way - because Isaac was on the other side. He also played on a D that sent tons of extra guys in the pass rush - both of which should have helped him rack up more stats.
He did certainly influence a lot of plays where he didn't get a "stat".... but the crazy low level of actual countable events on his stat sheet is an oddity.
