WVU Football Adds Depth with Mississippi State WR Transfer Justin Robinson

With a few spots remaining on the West Virginia University football roster, head coach Neal Brown has made a significant move to strengthen the wide receiver room. Justin Robinson, a former standout from Mississippi State, announced his commitment to WVU on social media, bringing a blend of size, experience, and potential to the Mountaineers.

Robinson’s journey to WVU has been marked by perseverance and flashes of brilliance. Initially a consensus four-star recruit, Robinson was highly sought after, ranking as the No. 29 player in Georgia’s 2021 high school class and the No. 48 wide receiver in the country. He began his collegiate career at Georgia, where he saw limited action, catching just two passes in eight games over two seasons before transferring to Mississippi State.

At Mississippi State, Robinson battled various injuries but managed to showcase his potential. Over three seasons, he tallied 53 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns. His most productive season came in 2022 when he logged 30 catches for 326 yards and three scores, demonstrating his ability to be a reliable target despite the challenges he faced.

Standing at 6’4″ and weighing 220 pounds, Robinson fits the profile of the big, long, experienced receiver that WVU has been searching for. His size and athleticism make him a formidable presence on the field, capable of winning contested catches and providing a significant threat in the red zone.

For quarterback Garrett Greene and the Mountaineers’ offense, Robinson’s addition is a welcome boost. His ability to stretch the field and create mismatches against defenders will be invaluable as WVU looks to improve its passing game and overall offensive production.

Robinson’s commitment also highlights Neal Brown’s proactive approach in the transfer portal, identifying and securing talent that can make an immediate impact. With Robinson in the fold, the Mountaineers are poised to have a more dynamic and versatile receiving corps heading into the new season.

As WVU gears up for the upcoming season, fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how Robinson integrates into the offense and leverages his experience and skills to elevate the team’s performance. With the right support and development, Robinson has the potential to become a key player for the Mountaineers and help drive their success in the highly competitive Big 12 conference.
