Middlebury's Robinson Brings Balance to the Gridiron
Middlebury Tigers running back Isaiah Robinson is no stranger to high expectations. Last season, he averaged 7.5 yards per carry, the highest among D-II running backs in the VPA. But what's truly impressive is how Robinson balances his on-field duties with a 4.0 GPA. The Class of 2027 standout has already taken Advanced Placement courses in calculus and English, and plans to pursue a career in engineering. "I've always been a student-athlete, and I believe that academics come first," Robinson said. "But I also know that football is a great opportunity for me to showcase my skills and help my team succeed." As a varsity starter, Robinson will be counted on to lead the Tigers' offense this season. Scouts are watching to see how he adapts to increased defensive attention, particularly in the secondary, and whether he can maintain his impressive yardage average while shouldering more of the workload.
