Robinson looks to assist Trevor Lawrence to a huge sophomore season while Hassenauer expects to help the new Steelers quarterback transition to life after Ben Roethlisberger. Robinson and Hassenauer were successful offensive linemen for the Crimson Tide. Robinson arrived as a five-star tackle from Louisiana in 2014 while Hassenauer came as a four-star center/guard prospect in 2014. Robinson was a three-time Southeastern Conference Champion (2014-16) and a College Football Playoff National Champion in 2015. He earned Unanimous All-American honors, first-team All-SEC accolades, the SEC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy, and the Outland Trophy in 2016. Hassenauer played on two CFP national title teams in 2015 and 2017.
