Robinson gaining momentum

Salem (N.J.) inside linebacker Lamont Robinson is quickly becoming one of the most sought after linebackers on the east coast. Robinson currently has five scholarship offers and more are on the way.

"I have scholarship offers from Boston College, Virginia, Maryland, Rutgers and Syracuse currently. I am also getting interest from Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Southern Cal, South Carolina, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, LSU, and Miami, said the 6-foot-2, 226-pound linebacker who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.65 seconds.

Although Robinson claims no favorites at this point, he does know what he is looking for in a school.

"I want to go to a program that has the ability to compete for the national title and BCS bowls. I competitive by nature so early playing time will also play a factor. I want to play. I also look at the job security of the coaching staff because I don't want to go through a coaching change during my time in college. Academics and location will also be something I look for. I want to major in communications and I would like to go to a school that could place me in an internship that has a future."

Robinson has already visited Boston College and Virginia. What is up next for the talent 'backer?

"I will be attending the Elite Combine at the Meadowlands on May 5 and then I am going to the NIKE Camp at Penn State on May 15."

Last season, Robinson racked up 91 tackles, three forced fumbles, two interceptions, two sacks, and one fumble recovery. Robinson currently maintains a 4.3 GPA and scored 1,070 on the SAT.
