KNOXVILLE – As Tennessee football brings in new talent during the Early Signing Period, Vols Wire is releasing player profiles on each individual that signs with UT.
Find out recruiting ratings, key skills, stats and which other programs had offers on the table for each Tennessee signee.
It’s no secret that a high-priority mission of Jeremy Pruitt and his staff upon taking the Tennessee job was to add beef to both sides of the trenches. Now, as the Vols work on Pruitt’s third recruiting class at Tennessee, that mission continues with the addition of James Robinson.
As a signee on Wednesday morning, Robinson will bring his 6-foot-4, 323-pound frame into Knoxville out of Montgomery, Ala. As a three-star prospect, and the No. 44 offensive guard in the country per the 247 Sports Composite, Robinson did not have a litany of Power 5 offers.
The Carver High School product’s only other SEC offer came from Auburn, but Pruitt and offensive line coach Will Friend were attracted by Robinson’s finishing ability and versatility as he played right tackle in high school as well.
NEXT LEVEL: James Robinson
