James Robinson isn’t surprised with the attention coming his way, as his recruitment starts to pick up. “I feel like it’s well deserved,” the 2020 three-star offensive lineman out of Montgomery, Ala., told GoVols247. “I put in hard work. Hard work year round.” The hard work has led to offers from Tennessee, Missouri and Virginia Tech for the 6-foot-4, 315-pounder out of Carver High School.
He picked up the offer from the Vols during a visit over the weekend, visiting Knoxville with 2020 strong-side defensive end Khurtiss Perry and 2020 defensive back
Kendrick Simpkins. “We toured the facilities,” Robinson said, “took the pictures in the uniforms. They’re talking to me about being a guard,” he said of Tennessee’s recruitment, “but being able to play tackle.”
Robinson said he prides himself on aggressiveness and being able to play with tempo. His footwork is what he’s currently working on, trying to get better in pass sets. “Learning how to protect better,” Robinson said. He’s expecting to keep hearing from Tennessee after the offer was delivered during the visit. He’ll be back on campus at some point, too, but a specific date hasn’t been set yet.
“They’re telling me just keep playing ball,” Robinson said, “and they’ll keep in touch.” After visits at Troy and Tennessee, another SEC stop is next on his schedule. “I’m supposed to be going to Georgia in a week,” Robinson said.
