The story

As of

Robinson's 2025 was a star turn: 56 catches, an ACC-leading 1,081 yards, six touchdowns, first-team All-ACC, a Phil Steele third-team All-America nod and a Biletnikoff semifinal berth. At 6-6, 222, the former USC transfer is a downfield and contested-catch problem few defenses can solve (18 contested grabs). He forwent the 2026 draft to come back. The forward stakes are the leap from very good to elite: he's already the ACC's most productive returning receiver, and . For a target this big who can run, 2026 is about consolidating the flashes into a complete season — and being the player Florida State's offense runs through.

Read the rest of the story

Update (Nov. 2, 2026): Through eight games Robinson has 24 catches for 438 yards and four touchdowns, first on Florida State in receiving yards (Jayvan Boggs is next with 415), and the Seminoles are 3-5. He scored in three games: 135 yards and a touchdown against Alabama on Sept. 19, a touchdown against Central Arkansas, and 113 yards and two touchdowns at Miami on Oct. 17, with a 75-yard catch. He had 31 yards against Clemson on Oct. 31. With four regular-season games left, he would need 643 more yards to match the 1,081 of 2025.

Style of play

Play style

Robinson is a big-bodied vertical weapon, and the data is emphatic on the deep ball: a 98th-percentile yards-per-catch (over 19 a grab), an 85th-percentile explosive-catch rate, and an 79th-percentile EPA per target — a true field-stretcher despite his size. The honest counterweight is a 14th-percentile catch rate, the trade-off of a receiver who feasts on contested, downfield throws rather than easy completions — the same profile his 18 contested catches describe. He's a back-shoulder, high-point, win-above-the-rim target rather than a quick-separation slot. At 6-6 with this kind of vertical juice, he's the matchup a defensive coordinator loses sleep over — and the cleaner his catch rate gets, the closer he is to the first round.
