Early years and U Sports career

Robinson was born on January 3, 1999, and grew up in Guelph, Ontario. [1] He attended Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute and played football, basketball and track. [1] [2] He then began attending the University of Guelph, playing for the Guelph Gryphons and following in the footsteps of his uncle Junior, who played there and later for ten years in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for six teams. [2] [3] [4]

In his first year at Guelph, Robinson posted 29 tackles and four sacks along with one forced fumble, being named to the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) all-rookie squad. [5] [6] In ten games the following season, he recorded 39 tackles and 8.5 sacks, being named second-team All-OUA. [5] [6]

U.S. college career

After the 2020 U Sports football season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Robinson sought a transfer to an American school. [7] He put together a highlight video with the help of one of his coaches, posted it on social media and afterwards received several offers, eventually choosing to commit to Ole Miss over LSU, Nebraska and San Diego State, among others. [2] [7] [8] Although he had the option to redshirt, Robinson decided to play in his first year at Ole Miss and appeared in ten games with five starts, totalling 18 tackles. [2]

As a senior in 2021, Robinson appeared in 11 games and tallied 28 tackles, including 4.5 for a loss, with 3.5 sacks. [5] [6] Although he had originally planned to declare for the 2022 NFL draft, he eventually decided to return to Ole Miss for a final season in 2022, after being given an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19. [1] [6] Robinson started all 13 games in 2022, recording 44 tackles (of which 17 were solo), seven sacks, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. [6]
