Robinson has reached his four-game limit but told media on Monday night that he still plans to play in the Sooners' final two games.
So far, Robinson has appeared in four games this season as a freshman since debuting against Texas with a pair of catches for 12 yards and no rushes. Players are allowed to play in up to four games during a season and keep their redshirt, meaning if Robinson steps on the field one more time this year, he’ll burn his redshirt for his first year on campus.
“One of the best athletes on our team,” Venables said of Robinson during his coach’s show Monday night. “He literally, and he did it in high school, but he could come over and be a really good linebacker. He could be a great tight end. He's got fantastic hands. His ability to locate the ball down the field.
Robinson and Tatum are both freshmen who have gotten enough opportunity this season that their redshirts are potentially burnt. Tatum has already erased his redshirt while appearing in every game except one because of an injury. Tatum has rushed for 264 yards and scored four times, including a receiving touchdown.
It didn’t take Robinson long to get playing time or to get to Norman from Carl Albert High School in Midwest City . He was a 3-star recruit before choosing to stay nearby over offers from Iowa State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State and others. Robinson, though, started the season listed at 6-foot and 226 pounds. He had to lose weight before finally getting on the field Week 7.
