2020 Season Countdown: #83 Greg Robinson

Name: Greg Robinson
Height: 6’6″
Weight: 306 lbs.
High school: Hudson (OH) Hudson
Position: Offensive tackle
Class: Fifth year senior
Jersey number: #79
Last year: I ranked Robinson #73 and said he would be a backup offensive tackle (LINK). He played in one game.
TTB Rating: N/A

Robinson – like everyone on the roster – got some playing time in the blowout of Rutgers last year. That was the first game action of his career.

This year chances of his getting much time are probably pretty slim, despite the fact that Michigan lost four starters on the offensive line. I do think Robinson has a decent amount of talent for a walk-on lineman, but Michigan’s recruiting has been good enough that they probably don’t need Robinson to be in the rotation. He could work in on the field goal protection unit or to prevent a true freshman from burning his redshirt.

Prediction: Backup offensive tackle

2019 Season Countdown: #73 Greg Robinson

Name: Greg Robinson
Height: 6’6″
Weight: 280 lbs.
High school: Hudson (OH) Hudson
Position: Offensive tackle
Class: Redshirt junior
Jersey number: #79
Last year: I ranked Robinson #99 and said he would be a backup offensive tackle (LINK). He did not play in any games.
TTB Rating: N/A

Robinson did not play in any games last year. He was named Scout Team Player of the Week leading up to the Rutgers game, so that’s great for him. Now for the next step: playing time in games. In his three years on campus so far, he has only played in one game, back in 2017.

There were some positive rumblings about Robinson during spring ball, and he was running with the twos at one point. He has a chance to be on the second team offensive line if/when a blowout occurs, which might allow the coaching staff to preserve redshirts for some of the younger guys. I don’t think Robinson will be in line to step in for major minutes, but at the end of a Rutgers blowout, have at it!

Prediction: Backup offensive tackle

2018 Season Countdown: #99 Greg Robinson

Guess which one of these guys plays for Michigan now. (image via Scouting Ohio)

Name: Greg Robinson
Height: 6’6″
Weight: 290 lbs.
High school: Hudson (OH) Hudson
Position: Offensive tackle
Class: Redshirt sophomore
Jersey number: #79
Last year: I did not rank Robinson. He did not see game action.

I have no inside info that Robinson will be a contributor to the team, and at #99, that’s not the expectation, anyway. But by golly, a 6’6″, 290-pounder to throw out there on the scout team offensive line ought to be worth something.

Prediction: Backup offensive tackle

P.S. He’s the big guy in the foreground.

Ex-Wolverine Updates

Jay Hopson has Alcorn State chugging along pretty nicely.

Former DT Richard Ash: Ash made 1 tackle in Western Michigan’s 45-14 victory over Murray State.

Former TE commit Pharaoh Brown: Brown had 3 catches for 38 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown in Oregon’s 38-31 win over Washington State. The game was tied 31-31 until the Ducks scored the go-ahead touchdown with 5:33 left.

Former CB Cullen Christian: Christian had 1 tackle in West Virginia’s 45-33 loss to Oklahoma.

Former CB commit Dallas Crawford: Crawford made 3 tackles in Miami’s 41-31 loss to Nebraska.

Former K Matt Goudis: Goudis sat out Miami’s loss to Nebraska with an injury.

Former LB coach Jay Hopson: Hopson, the head coach at D-II Alcorn State, moved to 3-1 with a 52-9 win over Mississippi Valley State. His only loss this year came at the hands of Southern Miss, an FBS school, by a score of 26-20. Against D-II opponents, the Braves have scored 50+ points in each game and they have allowed 6, 7, and 9 points.

Former defensive coordinator Greg Robinson: Robinson is now the defensive coordinator at San Jose State, a team that is #99 nationally with 31 points per game allowed. They’re also #59 nationally by giving up 375 yards/game, which isn’t terrible considering two of their opponents have been Auburn and Minnesota.

Former head coach Rich Rodriguez: Arizona won a ridiculous game against Cal by a score of 49-45. Arizona was down 28-6 at halftime, but they outscored Cal 43-17 in the second half. The game was finally won on a 47-yard Hail Mary from Anu Solomon to Austin Hill as time expired. Solomon was 47/73 for 520 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Receiver Cayleb Jones caught 13 passes for 186 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Hill caught 8 passes for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns. It’s interesting to watch from afar as Rodriguez has gone from a run-heavy spread offense at West Virginia and Michigan to a passer-friendly one in Arizona, although they usually still run the ball well.

Former S Ray Vinopal: Vinopal made 7 tackles in Pitt’s 24-20 loss to Iowa.
