While he's still in the early stages of his recruitment, he admitted to GoVols247 last month that he already expected Tennessee to be in the running until he’s “down to the final schools.” After participating in the Vols' camp last month, he spoke highly of the experience of working out inside Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium.
“I mean, this is incredible,” Robinson said after the camp. “There’s not even fans in it, and it’s still pretty awesome. And the facilities were incredible. Camp-wise, I got a lot out of it.”
Robinson, who added five Power Five offers last month, said last month that he liked what he had seen and heard from Tennessee, and he was encouraged by the direction of the Vols’ program under Heupel.
“They want to win,” Robinson said at the time. “They’re definitely dedicated to that. They definitely want to keep people from Tennessee in Tennessee. I mean, they’re all about the culture and getting relationships first, and then football. It was awesome.”
Robinson primarily has played linebacker at Greenbrier, but he said he believes he’s likely to play on the defensive line in college. Tennessee worked him on the defensive line during last month's camp.
The opportunity to stay in-state is just one of the reasons he said he was expecting to strongly consider the Vols throughout his recruitment.
“It’s in-state and they’re all about that,” he said. “It’s a very obvious culture change, so they’re probably going to be down to the final schools, if not the final school.”
