Robinson committed to Penn State on November 29, 2010 after being recruited by Ron Vanderlinden.[4] He had also received offers from Minnesota, Buffalo, and Toledo.
College career
2011
Robinson appeared in 12 games and caught 3 passes for 29 yards during the season. He made his first career start in the de facto Leaders Division championship game against Wisconsin.[3]
2012
After losing Justin Brown, who transferred to Oklahoma, Devon Smith who transferred to Marshall, and Curtis Drake, who was dismissed after a violation of team rules, Robinson was quickly thrust into the spotlight as the team’s number one returning receiver.[5][6] He quickly struck an accord with new coach Bill O'Brien and quarterback Matt McGloin,[7] and subsequently caught 9 passes for 97 yards in the team’s first game of the year against Ohio.[8] In the first game since Shawney Kersey was dismissed from the team,[9] Robinson responded in a big way catching 5 passes for 136 yards and 3 touchdowns.[10] After the game, Penn State assistant head coach and wide receivers coach Stan Hixon remarked, "Obviously he's made a big improvement from the spring, and from the spring we saw that he has potential to be a really good receiver. Each and every day, he's getting better and better at running routes, coming out of routes, and also, a much better job catching the ball in his hands. He has done a good job getting separation in certain routes, like we ask him to do, and he's been a really good student of the game."[11] Robinson set a single season record for most completions in a season on November 17, 2012 as part of an effort in which he finished with 10 receptions, 197 yards, and three touchdowns. He surpassed Bobby Engram and O.J. McDuffie, who had each recorded 63 receptions in a season.[12][13]
2013
After the first-half of the season concluded, Phil Steele named Robinson to his second-team All-America squad.[14]
Personal
Robinson is the son of Allen Sr. and Tracie Robinson. He has a sister, Ashley. He is studying to become a sports broadcaster.[3]
