Robinson, a 5-foot-8, 165-pound prospect known for his 10.45-second 100-meter speed, has topped 150 catches and 2,300 yards in high school. He visited Notre Dame on June 13, where the Fighting Irish pitched him on a versatile role, primarily in the slot but also lining up outside, in the backfield and as a returner.

The Texas wideout holds offers from Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, LSU, Michigan, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Penn State and Hugh Freeze's Auburn. However, Auburn didn’t make his list of finalists.

Robinson cited “connection” and “consistency” as key factors in his decision, adding that he wanted to commit earlier because he was “ready” and saw no need to wait.

“I feel like it was just too much time,” Robinson said via Irish Sports Daily. “I'm ready, man. I can't express it enough… Just the connection, consistency with the recruiting.
“I just wanted to find somewhere I'm not tolerated, but appreciated by the program, somewhere that I'll be utilized correctly,” he added. “That was pretty much it.”

Notre Dame receivers coach Mike Brown has recruited Robinson since last spring. His new commitment date follows decisions from two other Irish receiver targets – Kaydon Finley on July 4 and Devin Fitzgerald on July 5, raising the possibility of a three-day run of high-profile wideout commitments for Marcus Freeman’s staff.
