Where does he fit in? Robinson has a leg up on every other member of Alabama’s 2020 recruiting class, as the four-star cornerback in already on campus participating in bowl game practices leading up to the Citrus Bowl.
It will be interesting to see if that added experience can lead to early playing time for Robinson, but he’s certainly a guy who make an impact at some point.
Robinson possesses excellent length (6-foot-1 1/2) to go with a physical style and willingness to improve. That combination could prove to be a winning one before it’s all said and done.
More than likely, Robinson will take a backseat to some of the veteran cornerbacks on the roster — such as Patrick Surtain II, Josh Jobe and Jayln Armour-Davis — but he could find his way into a role on special teams at some point.
