He finished the year with nine receptions for 157 yards and one touchdown, a 35-yard reception against Air Force.[6] Robinson entered his sophomore season in 2014 as a starter.[7] He caught two touchdown passes in a 31–28 defeat against Florida State, and had the potential winning touchdown called off with 13 seconds remaining due to an offensive pass interference penalty on a teammate.[8] Following the regular season, he was named a First-team Academic All-American.[9] However, in the 2016 offseason, Robinson decided to leave football after suffering a third concussion in his junior year.[1]
