First Visit Set For DE

Defensive lineman Elijah Robinson from Camden (N.J.) Woodrow Wilson has set up his first official visit. Elijah stands 6-foot-3 and 255 pounds, but is very quick off the ball. He has the ability to play defensive end or tackle because he is both powerful and fast.

“I’m heading to North Carolina on Dec. 13, I like them a lot right now.” He said.

With more than a dozen offers in hand, Robinson is listing eight schools that he is interested in and hopes to have it narrowed down to a top five by the end of October. For now, Miami and North Carolina are his leaders followed by Rutgers, Virginia, Maryland, UCLA, West Virginia. Everyone has offered except for Miami.

“I’ve always loved the 'Canes and I’m hoping for an offer. The defensive line coach, Greg Marks, visited my school and told me that they want me to come for an official visit.”

Elijah is also looking to set up an official visit with a school during his team's bye weekend of Oct. 18.

“I’m not sure what school I’ll visit, but I’ll definitely set something up. I know that Virginia and West Virginia both play at home that weekend so it could be one of them. I need to check out a few more schedules.”

Besides his top schools, Robinson also has offers for visits from Minnesota, Indiana and Iowa.
