Eric the Red Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Huskers nab Elkhorn lineman BY STEVEN M. SIPPLE / Lincoln Journal Star Sunday, Apr 08, 2007 - 12:38:31 am CDT Trevor Robinson could have played college football for any number of big-time programs. He chose the one closest to home. Robinson, a 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman from Elkhorn High School, has given Nebraska coaches his verbal commitment to accept their scholarship offer. Notre Dame and Michigan also were on his final list of choices. “The big thing is, Nebraska’s close to home,” Robinson said Saturday. “There’s nothing I can do football-wise at those other places that I can’t do at Nebraska.” Robinson becomes the fourth high school player to verbally commit to Nebraska’s class of 2008. He joins offensive lineman Dan Hoch of Harlan, Iowa, running back Collins Okafor of Omaha Westside, and offensive lineman Baker Steinkuhler of Lincoln Southwest. Advertisement Nebraska’s early crop of offensive line commitments is raising eyebrows nationally. Hoch, 6-6 and 295 pounds, and Steinkuhler, 6-6 and 290, also are regarded to be among the nation’s best prep linemen. Robinson also had scholarship offers from Boston College, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina State, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt. He visited Nebraska’s spring practice Friday with two former Elkhorn teammates, Kevin Thomsen and Clancey Shannon, who both will walk-on at NU this coming fall. Current Husker linebacker Kyle Moore, also from Elkhorn, joined the three for dinner Friday night. Robinson called Notre Dame and Michigan coaches Friday night to inform them of his decision. “Obviously, Notre Dame has a lot to offer — academics is a big thing there, which is hard to turn down,” Robinson said. Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis had visited Elkhorn High on Jan. 17 and had planned a second visit April 24, although Robinson said it no longer makes sense to recruit him. He’s locked in on his decision, he said. “I didn’t want to milk the situation any longer,” Robinson said. “I knew what I wanted and went with it.” Last season as a junior, Robinson helped lead Elkhorn to the Class B state championship game, where the Antlers fell to Crete. He played on both sides of the ball, recording 103 tackles, including six sacks. On offense, “He pushed the line of scrimmage and we ran behind him all year,” said Elkhorn coach Mark Wortman. “If it was fourth-and-2, people knew where it was going and it didn’t matter.” Robinson owns a 3.92 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale and scored a 28 on his ACT.

Eric the Red Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 NU Football: Elkhorn lineman Robinson picks NU BY RICH KAIPUST WORLD-HERALD BUREAU LINCOLN - Nebraska continued construction of its future offensive line by getting a commitment from Elkhorn High star Trevor Robinson to sign a football letter of intent next February. Robinson follows Baker Steinkuhler of Lincoln Southwest and Dan Hoch of Harlan, Iowa, also highly touted linemen who will be high school seniors in the fall. "With those two guys being the caliber they are, it's something I wanted to be a part of," Robinson said Saturday. "We could look at ourselves as the best offensive line recruiting class out there (for 2008)." Indeed. All three were named by rivals.com to its pre-evaluation top 100 national list coming off their junior seasons. Both Robinson and Steinkuhler were World-Herald All-Nebraska picks in 2006. Robinson said he finalized his decision while watching the Huskers practice Friday. After dinner with friends, he came back to the Osborne Complex and politely interrupted an NU meeting to inform the offensive staff. "I already had felt pretty confident and pretty firm about it," Robinson said. "They were my No. 1 school for quite a while. The more I thought about it, the more I thought they had everything I was looking for." For Robinson, it came down to NU, Notre Dame and Michigan, although the 6-foot-5, 300-pounder had scores of other offers. Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis thought enough of Robinson to visit Elkhorn three months ago. Robinson attended two NU spring practices in a seven-day span, but said it wasn't so much about looking for something as developing relationships. He already feels like he has a good one with Dennis Wagner, the NU offensive line coach. Down the line, Robinson said he could see Hoch and Steinkuhler as tackles, and himself moving inside to guard. Steinkuhler, brother of NU defensive tackle Ty Steinkuhler and son of former All-American Dean Steinkuhler, also has the potential to play defensively. NU's list of commitments for 2008 also includes Omaha Westside back Collins Okafor. Quote Link to comment

husker rob Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 this was taken from Sundays LJS Trevor Robinson (Rivals.com) Trevor Robinson, one of the nation’s top prep offensive linemen, is preparing for his senior season at Elkhorn High School. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Robinson has verbally committed to accept Nebraska’s scholarship offer after receiving offers from a laundry list of prominent schools, including Notre Dame, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. He showed his prowess Friday when he was named MVP among offensive linemen at the Columbia (Mo.) NIKE camp for elite prep players. After the camp, he spent a few minutes with Steven M. Sipple of the Lincoln Journal Star. Were you expecting to be named MVP among offensive linemen at the camp? “No. I mean, I got beat once on a bull-rush. The guy got under me a little bit and went straight through me. Other than that, I think I did really well.” Is it safe to say you’re not necessarily accustomed to a lot of pass-protection? Advertisement “The times I dropped back in pass protection last season (at Elkhorn), you could count the number on your fingers. Pass protection is a little different. I think I did pretty well for something I’m not completely accustomed to doing.” Why did you want to participate in this camp? “The biggest thing for me is getting to work out with some guys I’m going to be with at Nebraska. I didn’t get to see (quarterback) Blaine Gabbert do a whole lot during the camp, but obviously he did really well. Dan Hoch (an offensive tackle from Harlan, Iowa, who also has pledged to NU) really showed why he’s rated as the No. 1 player in Iowa. I mean, he’s big and quick off the edge. He can take a bull-rush and take a speed-rush. He can do anything you ask of him.” Camp workers noticed that you seem to really enjoy yourself playing football. You smile a lot. Is that your nature? “Yeah. It takes a lot to put me in a bad mood. I enjoy football. Enjoy working out. I was looking forward all day to the one-on-one drills.” Do you have a primary objective for your senior season? “We lost in the (Class B) title game last season, so obviously anything less than a state championship is going backward. Definitely, we want to win the state title.” You wear your hair long — shoulder length. What’s up? “I’m a Robert Gallery fan. I kind of always looked up to him when I was in middle school and high school. He was a dominant player (as an offensive tackle at Iowa).” You have some kick-butt tattoos — a T on the back of one arm, an R on the back of the other. Are you going to get some more? “I don’t know. It’s expensive. These were $140 combined. I like them. I like to have them where I can have a T-shirt on and have them covered up.” Are you going to keep the long hair thing going at Nebraska? “I hope so. I don’t think Coach (Bill Callahan) will mind. If it’s an issue on the field, obviously I’ll cut it. But I don’t see it being a problem.” Quote Link to comment
