Northview Grad Neiko Robinson Signs With South Alabama Jaguars
December 17, 2015
Northview High School graduate Neiko Robinson signed Wednesday with the South Alabama Jaguars.
All total, six junior-college transfers — all but one on the defensive side of the ball — signed National Letters-of-Intent with the University of South Alabama football program on Wednesday and will enroll in school in January.
Cornerback Robinson played the last two seasons at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, where he helped the Bulldogs finish in the top-10 of the final NJCAA poll each year while winning eight contests.
As a sophomore, Robinson posted a total of 44 tackles and broke up six passes, with the latter figure the second-best on the team, while recording 42 stops and five passes defended his first year with the program. In 2014 he was credited with a career-best eight stops in a Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges semifinal contest against No. 2 East Mississippi Community College with a season-high seven tackles in the Bulldogs’ win at Southwest Mississippi Community Colege.
Robinson — who is 6-foot, 175 pounds and from Century — was a first-team all-state selection each of his final two seasons at the high school level. Robinson was a member of the Northview Chief’s first-ever state championship team in 2012.
The South Alabama Jaguars finished 5-7 last season while facing a schedule that included seven opponents that would go on to earn an invitation to a postseason bowl, including a 34-27 overtime victory at eventual Mountain West Conference champion San Diego State.
