On Tuesday, Nebraska defensive lineman Ty Robinson announced during his media availability that he will be returning to Lincoln for a sixth season.
“I’ve sat down with the coaches already and we thought that it would be in the best interest that I come back for another year so I will be returning for a sixth year,” Robinson said.
The Gilbert, Arizona native was a consensus four-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting class, including being ranked by Rivals as a top-100 prospect. He picked the Huskers over offers from Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Penn State, Notre Dame, USC, and others.
Robinson would play three games as a true freshman in 2019, preserving his redshirt eligibility before playing in all seven of the Huskers games in the 2020 COVID season, finishing with 17 tackles, including two tackles for a loss. In 2021, Robinson played in 12 games and recorded 27 tackles, four tackles for a loss, and two sacks as a redshirt freshman.
Last season, he was named Nebraska’s co-Defensive Lineman of the Year after playing in 12 games and recording 24 tackles, including four tackles for a loss and two sacks. This season, he’s followed that up with an even better season, so far tying his career high in tackles with 27 while also recording four tackles for a loss and one sack.
