The 6-foot-1, 180-pound wideout holds more than 30 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Miami has a close lead for his commitment at 34.2%.

“They treated us like they needed us here,” Robinson told Stephen Wagner of CaneSport on March 24 about the Hurricanes. “It’s just different from any other college I’ve been to. That’s big to me, and that’s everything you look for in a program… It’s honestly just the talk and the bond. I’ve been around a lot of these coaches for a long time throughout my lifetime. It’s just great here. The conversations we have I’ve never had with any other colleges. It’s just been good.”

“I’ve been a Miami fan,” he added. “I’ve said Miami would be a dream come true. I’d love to see Miami do good whether I’m playing for them or not… It’s great here. I was just itching to see it.”

Robinson also recently visited Florida. He shared with Donovan Keiser of Gators Online that the Gators made a strong impression on him.

“It was great,” Robinson said. “Me and coach Billy (Gonzales), it was amazing. I got to see how him and Billy Napier develop their receivers and how this offense and staff are centered around the receiver.”
