Early life and high school
[edit]Robinson initially grew up in Dallas, Texas.[3] His family moved to Phoenix, Arizona and he enrolled at Pinnacle High School.[4] Robinson received his first college football scholarship offer from Arizona State after taking part in a 7-on-7 tournament, despite not yet having played in a single tackle football game.[5] He was also a starter on Pinnacle's basketball team.[6] Robinson had 60 catches for 972 yards and eight touchdowns as a junior.[7] Robinson caught 84 passes for 1,614 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior and played in the Under Armour All-America Game.[8]
Robinson was rated a five-star recruit and the best tight end prospect in the 2023 class.[9][10][11] He was also considered a top baseball prospect for the 2023 class.[12][13] Robinson committed to play both sports at USC over offers from Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Oregon.[14]
College career
[edit]Robinson was moved from tight end to wide receiver during preseason training camp prior to the start of his freshman season at USC.[15]
