Draft Profile: Bio
MaxPreps California Player of the Year as a senior at San Diego's Lincoln High, Robinson rushed for 2,378 yards and 37 touchdowns in 2022, once piling up 476 yards and eight scores in a single game against Mater Dei Catholic, and capped the year with four touchdowns in a state championship win. A four-star recruit, he flipped his commitment from UCLA to Georgia.Robinson averaged 8.2 yards per carry as a freshman in 2023, gaining 196 yards and scoring twice on 24 attempts in five games while managing a high ankle sprain. Turf toe and a dislocated ankle suffered late in the 2024 season cost him much of his next two years; in 2025 he appeared in nine games with six carries for 22 yards and two receptions, scoring on a one-yard touchdown catch against Alabama in the SEC Championship Game.
After three seasons in Athens, Robinson entered the transfer portal in December 2025 and committed to UAB, where he arrives with two years of eligibility remaining.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Heaviest back in the group at 235, with a real short-yardage power history.
- Quietly among this tier's better marks in pass protection.
- A 506-yard freshman season at Georgia sits in the career file.
- UAB move promises the first real volume of his career.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Six carries in 2025; the season functionally did not happen.
- Slowest timed back in this group by a clear margin.
- Three seasons have produced under 600 career rushing yards.
- Ankle and toe injuries have interrupted every campaign since arrival.
- When healthy enough to grade, his rushing marks sit near the bottom of the position.
Scouting Report: Summary
Four games, six carries, 22 yards: the 2025 season was a roster line, not a campaign, the third straight year injuries have hollowed out a 235-pound back whose freshman season at Georgia once promised a short-yardage career. What survives on film is the blitz pickup, quietly among the better marks in this tier, and the sheer mass that keeps the goal-line argument theoretically alive.The case against is most of the case. He timed slowest in this group by a clear margin, the career rushing total sits under 600 yards across three seasons, the ground tape runs near the bottom of the position when healthy enough to grade, and the ankle and toe file reads longer than the highlight reel. Power backs without burst must dominate contact, and the evidence for that is dated.
UAB offers the first true volume opportunity of his college career, and 200 Conference USA carries would finally answer whether those freshman flashes were a true preview or merely a footnote. The protection skill gives him a real sliver of third-down utility to sell alongside the mass, which is more than most backs this deep on a board can offer. The projection is undrafted, with a camp-body path that depends entirely on a loud, healthy and fully featured senior season arriving exactly on schedule.
