Kentucky Football Gets A New Commitment.

3-star prospect Tyler Robinson has commited to the Cats to add on to the 2010 recruiting class. Robinson is a TE/DE. Tyler is 6'4 and weighs 250 lbs. He is from Alocoa, TN and attends Alcoa High School just like Randall Cobb and Kyrus Lanxter. Robinson also possesses a lot of similar traits of Randall Cobb's. If he can be just like those two guys, UK will be fine next year. UK has established a recruiting pipeline from Lexington, Kentucky to Alcoa, Tennessee. Maybe the blind Tennessee Volunteers will start to take some notice of the football talent coming out of Alcoa and UK plucks another one straight out of the Volunteer State. Here's what ESPN has to say of Tyler:

Robinson is a prospect who can offer a program some versatility. He plays both tight end and defensive end in high school and could be recruited for either at the college level. He has solid size for both positions. You wish he was a tad taller, but we still feel tight end may be a slightly better fit at the college level for him. On defense, he is a kid that carries good bulk and could be a tough run defender. He gets off the ball well and displays the ability to play in a football position with his power angles bent. He displays the ability to generate good power when taking on a blocker. He can be tough to block when he shoots his hands and creates separation, but he does need to be more consistent with his hands. Does a solid job of coming across the line, breaking down, locating the ball and reacting. He is a solid tackler. Displays good speed, though not a player that will likely run many plays down from behind. If a program has a need, Robinson could surely fill a hole as a defensive prospect, but the best fit might be on offense. He displays the tools to be a pretty solid well-rounded tight end. His best asset may be as a blocker. He is a good sized kid, who displays a tenacious attitude as a blocker. He does a good job of getting hands on and moving his feet. He can stay with and finish a block. You would like to see him close the distance more at times and get his hips under him. He needs to clean up his technique, but his physical style allows him to get the job done at the high school level. Does a good job of working up to the second level. As a receiver, he is not a kid that will likely stretch the field or run away from defenders, but he does seem to quickly hit his top speed. He has solid hands and displays the ability to use his big body to shield defenders. Robinson comes across as a blue collar, get-it-done type player.
