Quotable:
“I have good vision, and I have speed to get me where I want to go.” — Nakia Robinson
Scouting report:
• Played all over the field for Jackson but mostly lined up at running back and cornerback.
• Although many schools recruited him for corner, NCSU will first use him at running back.
• Shows good speed on film.
2017 projection:
The first priority with Robinson is making sure he is at the right position. He could easily fit in at either corner or running back. Once settled, Robinson could probably use a redshirt year to get acclimated to the college game and focusing full-time on one position.
