Tigers' Safety Carson Robinson Makes Immediate Impact
Middlebury's Carson Robinson, a senior safety from the Class of 2027, recorded 12 tackles for loss in his first seven games after transferring from out-of-state, helping the Tigers improve their D-II standing in the VPA rankings. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound defender, who played for a VPA Class 5A school in Texas before moving to Vermont, quickly earned a starting role and has been a key contributor to Middlebury's secondary. With his experience in a high-powered offense, Robinson brings a unique perspective to the Tigers' defense. He has been studying game footage and working on his technique during the offseason, looking to improve his coverage skills and become a more versatile defender. Scouts are watching to see how Robinson adapts to the VPA's rules and how he performs in big games, particularly against top-ranked opponents. His ability to read the quarterback and make plays in the backfield has drawn attention from college recruiters, and he is expected to be a top target for D-I programs next spring.
