He is a three time NCAA Div II Outdoor Champion (2013-2015) while jumping for Texas A&M–Kingsville .

After taking 4th at the 2017 USAs outdoors, Robinson took the 2018 USA championship men's high jump title with a Jump of 2.31m
In 2017, he repeated his 2015 feat finishing 4th at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships .
Fourth place is normally considered the worst position because it just misses qualifying for subsequent competitions, however in 2017, due to Erik Kynard already holding a bye as Diamond League Champion , Robinson advanced to the 2017 World Championships .
