Hornets' Roderick Robinson II headed to Georgia instead of UCLA
Lincoln High running back Roderick Robinson II said Tuesday that he has flipped his commitment from UCLA to Georgia. Robinson changed his commitment after visiting Athens, Ga., last weekend to see the Bulldogs beat Auburn 42-10.
“I felt a personal connection with all the coaches and staff,” said Robinson, who plans to major in kinesiology. “I can earn one of the best degrees in the country and at the same time play for one of the best teams in the country.”Robinson, who grew up in South Carolina, was the most highly recruited senior football player in the San Diego Section. While he committed to UCLA before the season started, it was thought to be a soft commitment because he planned to visit other schools.
“He’s a physical back who can run,” said Lincoln head coach David Dunn. “He’s definitely an SEC back. He’s got that Cali swag. California backs, they’re quick, they’re elusive. They’ll throw a move on you so quick. He’s got that shiftiness to him.”
