LSU preferred walk-on cornerback enters transfer portal

Ryan Robinson Jr., a New Orleans native, walked on at LSU last fall despite holding multiple Division I offers.

The LSU Tigers football team has already seen a pair of scholarship players opt to move on since the spring transfer portal opened — defensive end [autotag]Jaxon Howard[/autotag] and receiver [autotag]Khai Prean[/autotag].

But now, LSU is also losing a redshirt freshman preferred walk-on who could have ultimately found a role on the team. Cornerback [autotag]Ryan Robinson Jr.[/autotag], a New Orleans native, is moving on after one season at LSU.

Robinson was a three-star recruit and top-35 player in the state of Louisiana, but he turned down multiple Division I scholarship offers to join the Tigers. As a true freshman in 2023, he appeared in four games, mostly seeing special teams action.

He played the cornerback spot against Grambling and recorded two tackles, while he added one more on special teams against Ole Miss.

Robinson likely wasn’t in line to start or even see significant reps this season, but with depth at cornerback already a concern, the Tigers may look to add someone during the spring transfer portal window.

2023 LSU Tigers Snapshot Profile: No. 34 Ryan Robinson Jr.

Ryan Robinson Jr. turned down a number of big-time Power Five offers to walk-on with the in-state Tigers.

Going into the 2023 football season, LSU Wire will be looking at each player listed on the Tigers’ roster.

Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Brian Kelly this season.

When a player generally walks on at a program like LSU, it’s because they were under-recruited out of high school. [autotag]Ryan Robinson Jr.[/autotag] is an interesting case, though, as the three-star New Orleans Edna Karr prospect turned down Power Five offers from a number of top programs to join the Tigers as a preferred walk-on.
