Highlights + Evaluation of WVU WR Commit Keyshawn Robinson

Taking a closer look at West Virginia's newest wide receiver commit.

Sunday morning, the West Virginia Mountaineers picked up their second commitment of the 2024 recruiting class by landing in-state wide receiver Keyshawn Robinson of Jefferson High School. He chose WVU over offers from Old Dominion, Temple, and a few others.

Highlights

Evaluation

Call him YAC (Yards after catch). A track athlete and it shows on film. Super fast and shifty. He does a lot of his work underneath in the quick game. You can tell that Jefferson's objective was to just get the ball in his hands in space and let him cook. Does a lot of work out of the slot but also lines up outside. He's not your traditional 'X' receiver, though. There is some uncertainty about how well he can stretch the field vertically and win those 50/50 balls downfield. But it's not because he's incapable, it's just that they don't ask him to do those kinds of things in their offense for whatever reason. However, you can tell that he can get separation quickly in the route and knows how to pressure a corner, so getting vertical shouldn't be a big problem. Robinson is also dynamic in the return game and will likely find his way on the field early in his career by returning kicks.
