Robinson arrives in Las Cruces after spending the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons sidelined due to injury while at Little Rock. Prior to the injury, Robinson put together a standout 2023-24 campaign where he established himself as one of the Ohio Valley Conference's top guards. 

During the 2023-24 season, Robinson started all 27 games for the Trojans while averaging 15.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. He earned All-OVC First Team honors while also being named to the OVC All-Newcomer Team and the OVC Men's Basketball Tournament Team. 

Robinson showcased his scoring ability throughout the year, including a season-high 26-point performance against Georgia State. He also knocked down a season-best five three-pointers at Tennessee Tech while finishing the year with 152 rebounds, 33 steals and 17 blocks. 

Before transferring to Little Rock, Robinson spent the 2022-23 season at Texas A&M where he appeared in 18 games for the Aggies. He posted a season-high 12 points against South Carolina and recorded a career-high three steals against Colorado. 

Robinson previously began his collegiate career at Arkansas where he competed in two seasons for the Razorbacks. During the 2021-22 season, he played in 18 games while dishing out 24 assists and making two starts. As a freshman in 2020-21, Robinson played in 11 games before suffering a season-ending foot injury shortened his campaign. He scored 15 points in his collegiate debut against Mississippi Valley State while adding three assists, three rebounds and a steal. He was also named to the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll. 

Prior to his collegiate career, Robinson starred at nationally recognized Oak Hill Academy where he helped lead the program to a 37-3 record, a state championship and a No. 7 national ranking in the final ESPN poll. A highly regarded recruit coming out of high school, Robinson was ranked among the nation's top incoming guards by multiple recruiting services and earned All-State honors in both Virginia and Arkansas during his prep career.
