Samarian Robinson, a standout linebacker from Florida, committed to Rutgers football on Wednesday following an official visit to the program.
This is a bigtime get for Rutgers to land Robinson, who had been committed to UCF. Robinson plays for Lincoln High School (Tallahassee, FL), and is a consensus three-star recruit according to Rivals, 247Sports, ESPN and On3.

As a junior for Lincoln, he had 93 total tackles along with two fumble recoveries and a pass defended.
Robinson is a tremendous athlete, who recently ran a verified time of a 4.6 in the 40 while at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds. He boasts an 81-inch wingspan and a 17-inch neck.
He made the commitment to Rutgers official on Wednesday afternoon following his official visit:
