Eagles' Robinson Balances Books and Yards
St. Edward's Jalen Robinson is no stranger to success on the field, where he led the Eagles to a 10-2 record and a Division I playoff appearance in 2024. The senior running back averaged 7.2 yards per carry, the highest in the Northeast Ohio Conference, and scored 14 touchdowns. But what's equally impressive is Robinson's academic prowess. He maintains a 4.0 GPA, earning him the distinction of being one of the top student-athletes in the conference. As a varsity starter, Robinson is expected to play a key role in the Eagles' offense this fall. He's been attending summer camps and working on his speed and agility, looking to improve his 40-yard dash time. With his impressive combination of speed, power and intelligence, scouts are watching to see how Robinson adapts to the demands of a rigorous high school schedule while continuing to excel in the classroom and on the field.
