A product of Penn State pipeline program McDonogh in Owings Mills, Maryland, Robinson did not see playing time as a true freshman in 2023.

A former three-star recruit in the 2023 recruiting cycle, Robinson originally committed to Northwestern, being a pledge to the Wildcats from late May of 2022 all the way to December 12.

After originally losing out Robinson, the Nittany Lions kept recruiting the McDonogh product, getting up on campus in December for an official visit. Following the conclusion of that official visit, Robinson decommitted from the Wildcats and committed to Penn State one day later.

This upcoming season, Robinson could make his collegiate debut and will likely serve as a depth piece for the Nittany Lions at defensive end.
