Robinson, 42, mentored Terrion Arnold, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Malachi Moore, and Caleb Downs into having successful seasons last year for the Crimson Tide’s secondary. He positioned McKinstry and Arnold to potentially be first-round picks in the upcoming NFL Draft and helped Kevin Steele coordinate Alabama’s defense. Robinson has also been huge for the Tide on the recruiting trail, helping the program land strong classes in 2023 and 2024. This is a marquee loss for the Tide as he goes to UGA.
