It’s not often you see a high school junior from Nebraska offered this early by the Irish, but 6-foot-4, 285-pound Trevor Robinson has impressed the Irish coaches enough to be one of the first few 2008 players offered by the Irish coaching staff. What does Robinson think of Notre Dame?

 

Elkhorn, Neb. offensive lineman Trevor Robinson recently returned from another official visit to South Bend this past weekend and left impressed by Notre Dame.

 

“The game experience is great up there,” Robinson said. “I loved it. The crowd was really into the game. I really loved the whole pre-game atmosphere. You can’t find tradition like Notre Dame anywhere.”

 

But in the land of everything Husker, Robinson is very familiar with Nebraska as well.

 

“Yeah, you could say that,” said Robinson when asked if he grew up cheering for the Big Red. “I’ve been there a bunch of times. I probably go to two games a year there. I’ve been to camp there a couple of times.”

 

It was at Notre Dame’s camp this past summer where Robinson caught the attention of Notre Dame’s coaching staff.

 

“The whole thing is pretty overwhelming,” Robinson said of his Irish offer. “It seemed like they were genuinely interested, but with the whole NCAA thing, it’s kind of hard to know how much they really like you. I found out on September 1st. I was really excited about it.”

 

Robinson also picked up a couple of other offers and has a plan for recruiting.

 

“Right now I have offers from Notre Dame, Nebraska and Boston College,” he said. “I haven’t been to Boston College but it’s a place I’d like to go see. I have about 10 schools that I’m looking at right now. It’s really kind of early. I’ll probably take a look at a bunch of these schools and then see where I am about a decision.”

 

The Irish appear to be in good shape with Robinson early.

 

“I got to spend a lot of time with coach Ianello and coach Latina this weekend,” he said. “I got to speak to them before the game and during the pre-game on the field. I really like both of them. Coach Ianello is the coach recruiting me.

 

“I got to work with coach Latina during camp and got to get a feeling for how he coaches. I really liked working with him.”

 

But like all Nebraska kids, the Huskers are always hard to beat in their home state.

 

“Right now they’re one of my top teams,” Robinson said of Nebraska. “They have an advantage in that it’s in the vicinity of my home. My mom and dad can come see me play and that’s important to me.”

 

However, the Irish also appear they might be able to challenge the Huskers for Robinson’s signature.

 

“With Notre Dame it’s the academics,” he said. “That’s a big thing for me. I’m looking at the academic part of it just as much as football. It’s Notre Dame. It’s big-time college football. Coach Weis is a great coach and he’s been in the NFL. I also really liked working with coach Latina. I’d like to work with him in the future.”

 

In the end, it all comes down to one thing.

 

“My main goal is to win a National Championship,” he said. “I want to go to a school that has

 

 

Has anyone herd anything more Robinson and do ya'll think we would have a good chance on him?

long way to go on this kid being he is an 08 recruit

 

right now it looks like us and nebraska

got to see him play the other week, not a bad looking prospect but right now i'd say he's a husker. not many kids leave the state.

Thats what i thought.Thought it would be hard to drag him out of cornhusker country.

Too bad we aren't discussing Adrien Robinson, TE from Warren Central. No idea what his grades look like. He is a stud and runs a 4.45 forty according to one of the coaches for Warren Central. Kid is 6'5''. Phenomenal athlete. Very unfortunate that ND is turning their noses up at these talented kids.

im going to avoid this argument, but let me just say in my opinon the indian talent this year is very down and the WC kids are very overrated, they will not be missed

last night on Big Red Wrap Up they were talking about robinson saying that he already has offers from nebraska, notre dame and boston college. they said that CW called his high school coach and told him that they were going to offer robinson. the guys on the show could not stop talking about how CW is coming into nebraska to recruite this kid, they said ND doesn't come into the state of nebraska unless there is a prospect who is big time. it was almost funny to listen to them talk about CW and ND, the way they were talking made it sound that CW handed this kid the holy grail. this kid is big and strong at 6'5 290 lbs. and dosen't look fat at all, his body looks simular to matt carufels.

That's awesome, but I think this is just an example of the way a lot of folks feel, not only in Nebraska, but in the South. The SEC has a lot of clout and people grow up rooting for their favorite teams, but Notre Dame is Notre Dame. I was surprised when I went to ND and for the Chicago kids, it was JUST Notre Dame. There wasn't the same awe about it. Anyway, once the team starts to really dominate, I think we will be able to pluck our choice of recruits out of both the South and the Middle part of the country.

im going to avoid this argument, but let me just say in my opinon the indiana talent this year is very down and the WC kids are very overrated, they will not be missed

 

I'm going to avoid it too, but in my opinion if Indiana talent was total crap then Warren Central wouldn't be ranked #4 in the country. Can I get a what what!!!

during the show Big Red Wrapup they previewed OL Trevor Robinson and had a lot to say about him and ND. its and hour long show, so fast foward in the clip to 43:20 to listen.

His coach reports that he runs a 4.45! That is the last thingg to believe! These 40 times by HS coaches are BS.
