Robinson adds another option to LSU's deep cornerbacks room, becoming the fourth freshman in the corps along with four-star recruit Javien Toviano and three-star prospects Jeremiah Hughes and Ashton Stamps.
LSU has also brought in four cornerbacks from the transfer portal, including Darian Chestnut (Syracuse), JK Johnson (Ohio State), Denver Harris (Texas A&M) and Zy Alexander (Southeastern).
LSU had to remake its cornerback room following the departures of Jarrick Bernard-Converse, Mekhi Garner, Jay Ward and Colby Richardson. The only cornerbacks who earned notable playing time that are projected to return in 2023 are sophomore Sage Ryan and senior Sevyn Banks.
