Donovan Robinson Jr. is a rising, versatile Washington LB with real playmaking juice
A redshirt freshman in 2026, Donovan Robinson Jr. has impressed in fall camp and spring work with a pass breakup, an interception and a 53-yard pick-six in Washington’s spring game, signaling the kind of coverage instincts and range that make him more than just a thumper in the middle. At Loyola Academy, he showed two-way utility as a former defensive back and return man, and that versatility still shows up in his linebacker transition. He doesn’t have game stats yet for Washington, but the buzz says: athletic, disruptive, and trending upward fast.
