Taking a closer look at our initial 2018 Fabulous 55 list of the state’s top recruits:

No. 45: Jaylon Robinson, ATH, Fort Worth Paschal

FYI: 5-10/170; 3-stars

Texas offer: No

Top offers: Texas Tech, Houston, UTSA

College: Committed to Oklahoma June 26

Hudl: 

 

Scouting Robinson: Robinson, a one-time Texas Tech commit, announced his commitment to Oklahoma June 26.

Robinson is listed as an athlete by most services — he plays several positions at Fort Worth Paschal — but his future position is clear: Wide receiver. He’ll be an ideal slot receiver for a wide-open offense. His quickness makes him a superb route runner with the ability to get open in tiny spaces. That same quickness also makes him elusive in the open field.

But Robinson’s size is his knock. At only 5-10, he’s limited as a wide receiver prospect because his lack of height would prevent him from becoming an outside receiver in most college systems. He ran the ball 61 times and caught 37 passes as a junior. He accounted for nearly 1,000 yards of total offense and returned a kickoff and punt for a touchdown.
