It’s been a few tough seasons for Robinson High School, a staple program in Hillsborough County. A program with much history and tradition including two NFL first round selections and a second round pick:
1969 Larry Smith 1st Rd. Rams RB (Florida)
1972 John Reaves 1st Rd. Eagles QB (Florida)
2010 Javier Arenas 2nd Rd. Chiefs DB (Alabama)

The next generation is here. Allow us to introduce you to the next crop…
For the Class of 2018 kids that have not signed, a few will be recruiting fair kids, however DB Tevin Fordham has the ability to play at a good Division 2 program or perhaps a 1AA program. http://www.hudl.com/v/28KtYr
For Class of 2019 the Knights have a solid group of prospects…
1) From his coach…Christopher Rolack. “Every college coach that has been through in the past week is completely enamored with Chris he has exactly what any D1 program is looking for in a DB, lean, long wing span, height.” http://www.hudl.com/v/28Hn54
2) Tim Meech moves well, he will need to put on weight to improve overall strength. http://www.hudl.com/profile/7847059/Tim-Meech/videos
3) Quinton Lane has the size. “He was a solid possession receiver for me this past season” – Craig Everhart. He will play DB as well this upcoming season which could help him from a recruiting stand point. With his academics and size, high academic schools might come calling https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7846975/5a0f5f5b02bc970c2403801e
4) Kobe Copple had and up and down junior season. Always tough for a QB in a new offensive system. This year will be his second season in the same offensive system which will help and an off season of 7 on 7 with his team will be critical for his development http://www.hudl.com/video/3/7472829/5a005a0f04278b0b046ae49d
5) Devin Jandura played OL/DL out of necessity last season. He will continue to play OL but will be spotlighted at Inside Linebacker. DJ was also a state qualifier in wrestling last season and he will have a good chance to win the state championship this year. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/5449362/5a3c8562a023850ca4df499f
6) Jaden Jennings is a cousin to the of former Knight and current NFL player Frankie Williams. Frankie who has agreed to help with the development of all the Knights skill position players this upcoming season, has been working with Jaden recently, Jaden projects as a TE/OLB at the next level. He is also going to get some work as DB this season http://www.hudl.com/profile/7847029/Jaden-Jennings/videos
7) Cameron Lockridge is arguably the best overall athlete for the Knights. Cam is their top receiver and will play some DB as well this season. The entire receiving core who is coming back from last year could be really good. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/8822404/59fe280c420f9a0c98a8f636
