UVA Football: ‘Hoos land 6’4″ Cincinnati corner Jordan Robinson off the portal

UVA Football, if you believe Deion Sanders, struck out on undersized Colorado safety Carter Stoutmire, but, good news, on Friday, the ‘Hoos picked up a commitment from 6’4” Cincinnati cornerback Jordan Robinson.

Robinson, we have to presume, is getting a nice bag from the money people, based on his Pro Football Focus numbers.

Did I mention that he’s a 6’4” corner?

That’s absurd.

His PFF grade for 2024 was 76.4.

A rising senior, he played two years at Kentucky before transferring to Cincinnati, a Big 12 school, ahead of the 2024 season.

At Cincy, Robinson was on the field for 228 snaps, 111 of them pass-coverage snaps.

On the pass-coverage snaps, he allowed eight catches on 14 targets for 42 yards.

Robinson also had 20 tackles, 12 in the run game, with a run-defense grade from PFF at 90.7.

So, we get a big cover corner who can help in the run game.

Is this the one that Sanders was saying he was going to let us have?
