HIGH SCHOOL: He was a 2022 MaxPreps First Team All-American after he had 84 receptions for 1,614 yards (19.2 avg) and 14 TDs as a senior in 2022. Robinson was selected to the 2023 Under Armour All-American Game and the 2023 Polynesian Bowl. He was named the 2022 6A Northeast Valley Region Offensive Player of Year. Defensively, he recorded 11 tackles with 1 for loss and 1 pass deflection. On special teams, he fielded punts and tallied 16 for 155 yards (9.7 avg.). He also made the 2022 Elite 11 7on7 All-Tournament Team. According to 247Sports Composite, Robinson was a five-star recruit and was the No. 1 ranked tight end in the nation, the No. 1 player in the state of Arizona and the No. 17 recruit in the nation.
As a junior, he was named to the 2021 MaxPreps Junior All-America First Team. He rushed for 43 yards on 4 carries (10.8 avg.) and tallied 60 receptions for 972 yards and 8 TDs. He also threw 1 TD pass for 29 yards.

Robinson is the third athlete ever to be named "Under Armour All-American" in both baseball and football (joining Kyler Murray and AJ Brown).
