Robinson is an absolute beast, measuring in at 6-foot-6 and 257 pounds. The Rebel tallied 44 tackles, eight tackles for loss, seven sacks, and five forced fumbles last season while earning a spot in the Senior Bowl.
As for athletic testing, Robinson posted a 4.66 40-yard dash, a 1.63 10-yard split, and a 33.5” vertical jump.
Justin Melo of The Draft Network stated, “Tavius Robinson possesses every trait necessary to develop into a sack artist at the next level. Robinson has natural athletic abilities that make him an impactful defender. Robinson is a versatile talent that played various positions across Ole Miss’ multiple fronts.”
Robinson has a unique story lettering in football, track, and basketball at Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute in Ontario, Canada. He then signed with the University of Guelph, was named to the All-Ontario Rookie Team in 2018, and finally earned Second-Team All-Ontario honors in 2019 before signing with Ole Miss in 2020.
Robinson has the tools to be a solid pickup in the mid-rounds of the draft with great athleticism and size.
