High school and college career

Robinson was a stand-out scorer for St. Mary's High School, averaging 35.8 points a game as a senior en route to Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year (by the Archdiocesan Athletic Association Large Division) honors.[1]

Mostly coming off the bench, he averaged 9.9 points per contest in his freshman year (2014–15) at Austin Peay. He increased his scoring output as a sophomore, pouring in 16.9 points a game for the Governors, making 72 triples on the season, while pulling down 3.1 rebounds and handing out 2.6 assists per outing. As a junior, Robinson scored 20.3 points per game, having converted 71-of-194 from beyond the arc. He also averaged 3.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds per contest.[2] In early March 2017, Robinson was arrested on drug charges[3] and subsequently suspended indefinitely by Austin Peay for a violation of team rules.[4]

Robinson opted to enter the 2017 NBA draft as an underclassman,[5] but was not taken by any team.[6]
