Kentucky wide receiver Tayvion Robinson announces decision to return to Kentucky for 2023
Kentucky will officially have all three of its leading wide receivers back off the 2022 team. On Monday afternoon, veteran wideout Tayvion Robinson announced he would return for a final season in Lexington after transferring in from Virginia Tech this past offseason.
The 5-foot-10 pass catcher is one of the more precisely consistent targets at the power five level, having recorded between 400 and 600 receiving yards in each of his four seasons. For his fifth year, he’ll link back up with the rising sophomore duo of Barion Brown and Dane Key as they welcome former NC State star Devin Leary to the fold as QB.
Couple the Robinson and Leary additions with the reported news that Liam Coen is returning as offensive coordinator…and Kentucky may have a loaded unit on that end of the field next season. Kentucky fans are hopeful it’s a far cry from what the ‘Cats put on the field on offense this season.
Here was his post on Twitter with the good news:
