He’s been to camps at Northern Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Illinois and Iowa, and he is scheduled to attend camps at Northwestern and Michigan State. Robbins’ experience at Indiana stood out from the rest. Robbins verbally committed Thursday to accept a football scholarship from Indiana. "I went there, got to see the campus and just felt really good about it. I felt at home there," Robbins said. "It’s just a really nice place, and I liked it a lot." Three days later, after another conversation with Indiana head football coach Bill Lynch, Robbins committed to play football for the Hoosiers.

He said he’ll keep in touch with me and let me know if things started going faster," Robbins said. "Two days later I got an e-mail to call him. I called him. He said four people committed in the last day, and they only had two scholarships left. I didn’t really have to think about it. I loved it when I was leaving there. I didn’t want to pass it up so I just committed."
