Report: UCF wide receiver transfer Jaylon Robinson down to Ole Miss, Tennessee

Former UCF Knights star wide receiver Jaylon Robinson is reportedly down to two options for his third collegiate home after hitting the transfer portal last month. Robinson, who started his career at Oklahoma before transferring to Central Florida, will decide between Ole Miss and Tennessee, according to 247Sports‘ Rusty Mansell.

The transfer wideout ranked No. 11 at his position per On3’s transfer rankings has completed official visits to Ole Miss, Tennessee and TCU. Georgia was also showing interest but the Bulldogs won’t get Robinson on campus, according to Mansell.

Robinson is the No. 2 best-available wide receiver in the portal currently behind former Pitt Panthers star Jordan Addison.

In 2021, he had 18 catches in six games played for 322 yards and two touchdowns. He suffered a knee injury on Sept. 17 against Louisville that kept him on the sideline for five games.

Jaylon Robinson is a Fort Worth, Texas, native. He joined Oklahoma in the class of 2018 as a four-star prospect. He was the No. 449 recruit in the country and No. 66 in Texas, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Robinson sent out a message on social media to UCF fans when he entered the portal.

“This is hard,” Robinson wrote on Twitter. “Hard to say goodbye. After much prayer and talk with my family about my future, I’ve decided that it’s in my best interest to enter the transfer portal.”
