Robinson helped Phoebus to a 9-3 record as they reached the regional finals. On the season, he posted 31 catches for 585 yards and eight touchdowns on offense. On defense, he registered 55 tackles and seven interceptions.
Robinson went on to be named all-district, second team all-region and honorable mention all-state.
What does Phoebus head coach William Dee think makes his cornerback standout?
"He's got great work ethic and natural ability," he said. "A lot of kids I see have the talent, but don't always have the work ethic, but he does."
Dee definitely sees Robinson as a cornerback in college, but is he looking at any schools yet?
"Right now he's in the beginning stages of recruiting and is still looking," Dee said. "But he's been to both Virginia and Virginia Tech unofficially."
