‘23 TN SDE Nathan Robinson (Tennessee commit)

[bigl3327]

Nathan is 270 lb right now and said he images playing weight at UT will be 285 or 290

During summer workouts he was 260-265 from what my nephew (who goes to GHS) said. That's what my info was based on. I have no personal interaction with Greenbrier High School. Also, he'll have to be able to maintain his mobility at 290, unless he plans to play DT. Putting on that much mass in a short amount of time is great in theory, but if you lose your flexibility and quickness you'll look good getting off the bus to only stand on the sidelines. A 6'6 275-280lb DE that can still rush the passer is a terrifying prospect. I'm not saying he won't be able to play at 290, but adding 50+pounds of "good" weight between your junior year of high school and freshman year of college isn't likely and has some major drawbacks.

My brother has known him since he was 8, great family, dad is a former Marine (work ethic).

I see him getting around 290 and playing DT and occasional SDE in a 3 line set.

Robinson recorded 13 total tackles, including two tackles for loss, and was credited with a pair of quarterback hurries Friday night in Greenbrier's 28-7 loss at Marshall County High School in Lewisburg, Tenn. The Bobcats will travel to Lexington (Tenn.) High School on Friday night in the first round of Tennessee's Class 4A playoffs.

The kids makes a ton of plays at or behind the line of scrimmage.

He definitely plays with a love for the game. To play in SEC on d line will have to be a 3 tech. With his body type no problem getting to 300lbs. Depending on how we continue to recruit D lineman I believe he can become really good OT. Either way you love players like him. In CHRIST Alone

Was going to suggest the same. Either inside on DL or an excellent prospect on the OL.

That is what I see on tape. Just don't believe he is quick enough to play DE in SEC unless he is in 4 tech against run heavy team.

I believe strongly that Robinson or Duncan will be an OT…after watching their films I believe Robinson will be that guy…Duncan has a quick twitch and explosiveness that I don’t see in Robinson…that’s not a knock on Robinson…I think he’ll be a very good OT…and an OL class if Umarov, Robinson, Bussell and Lang is dang good IMO

No knock. Your eyes see correctly the lack of quickness especially to play DE. But man he sure loves him some contact and is relentless. In CHRIST Alone

That and the athleticism makes him a perfect OT…IMO

Im not to far from his HS. I’ll be surprised if he can make it in the SEC.

make sure to let Garner know

I initially was going to scoff at your assertion, but the fact that you're not "to" far from his HS just gives you a level of credibility I can't question.

Agree. A lot of that depends on arm length too. Robinson is an inch shorter than Duncan, but does he have the long arms to play OT? Duncan looks like he could grow into a prototypical LT. But maybe he stays at DT and Robinson plays RT.

Did he play any TE? His body type looks like a TE.

yes he played TE, ...... Nathan has never played offense line & don't expect him on the o-line, with his quickness looks to be a good DE. Nathan does not get the opportunity to play DE as much as a player would like do to his team needing him to be moved from position to position. He expects his playing weight to be around 285 or 290.

here is a photo of Nathan Robinson's athletic ability, with seconds to go in the half he go's up for the ball to make the reception inside the 5 yard line.

In Rodney we should all trust! Of all the coaches we have, none has a longer and more consistent record of signing and developing players.
