Five-Star Plus+ CB Ellis Robinson IV signs with Georgia

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy Five-Star Plus+ cornerback Ellis Robinson IV has signed with Georgia.

The 6-foot, 175-pound Robinson is the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

A native of New Haven, Conn., Robinson committed to the Bulldogs on Feb. 1. He chose UGA over LSU, Colorado, Alabama, and Miami.

“What stood out to me about Georgia was the relationships I built with the coaches and I’m also very comfortable being there with the players and coaches,” Robinson told On3 upon his commitment. “When I’m with the players on campus I feel like I belong there and I fit in as a player just like them.”

Robinson has an On3 NIL Valuation of $430K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Ellis Robinson IV Scouting Summary

On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes this about him as a prospect:

“Ball-hawking cornerback with plus length, ball skills and refined movement skills. Has shown the ability to make high-level plays on the ball throughout his high school career. Measured close to 6-feet, 175 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position with arms that measure a shade under 33 inches. Dominated competition in New York’s Catholic league as a sophomore, bringing in eight interceptions. Made several impressive, acrobatic picks. Moved to IMG Academy as a junior, where he looked like the top defensive back on the Ascenders’ loaded roster. Made strides as a junior relative to his technical skills.

…Pairs his length and ball skills with refined footwork. Understands routes and generally stays in phase. Embraces matchups against top receivers and is willing to get physical at the line of scrimmage. Also tests as a good athlete in the combine setting. While his speed is good, he does not register as elite for the position. Can continue getting stronger and adding good mass once in a college strength program.”
