College career
Robinson began his collegiate career at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College. In his only season with the Golden Norsemen, he recorded 67 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 14 sacks and was named second-team All-Southwest Junior College Football Conference. Following the end of the season Robinson again recruited by Oklahoma State but was not offered a scholarship due to uncertainty regarding the Big 12's moral conduct policy.[8] He committed to transfer to New Mexico State, but he ultimately de-committed in August and opted to sign with Syracuse.[9][10]
Robinson became a starter at defensive end for the Orange early in his first season with the team and led the team with five sacks and the defensive line with 30 tackles.[11] As a junior, he finished second in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) with 10 sacks along with 39 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles and was named second-team all-conference. Robinson sat out the team's bowl game due to personal reasons.[12] Robinson was named honorable mention All-ACC as a senior after recording 46 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble.[13]
