The senior hit .315 across 48 games while leading the team in runs scored with 55 and stolen bases with 21. Robinson added 56 hits, 12 doubles, two triples, 12 home runs, and 34 RBIs while posting a .596 slugging percentage.
The outfielder produced several big offensive performances throughout the season, including a six-RBI outing against Albany State on Feb. 6 and a two-home run game versus Spring Hill on April 21.
