He added 11 quarterback hurries and a blocked field goal and earned honorable-mention all-conference honors.  In 2022, he started all 12 games with 24 tackles, including four tackles for loss, and a pair of sacks.  Robinson finished his career with 134 tackles, including 26.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. He played in a school-record 60 games during his Nebraska career with 47 career starts.
