He was the starting right tackle.

Never good news. Hope he recovers well and gets back on the field 100%.

sorry to hear that, lots of teams, including SC, are getting hit with injuries in fall camp.

No he wasn't.
He was listed as a co-starter on our initial fall roster -- something we do pretty regularly for seniors in giving them every opportunity to earn starting spots. He had been with the 2's/3's for us in camp for the past week or so after being passed by Justin Senior and supposedly by Rufus Warren as well.
Robinson is by all accounts a good dude. But he was never going to be a starter in the SEC. Doesn't have the feet for it. With Malone still at guard, Robinson was our 4th best tackle IMO, and had Malone kicked out, he would have been our 5th best -- and that's assuming that he was still better than Warren. Best of luck to him in the future.
This injury doesn't effect our front line much -- but it makes our margin for error on the OL much thinner...

we need a cumulative injury thread.

He was competing for the spot but he didn't have the job.

Yeah it sucks to lose depth but he was the 2nd string guy.

But seriously, best wishes to the kid. Hope he recovers quickly.
I hate to see pre-season injuries.

Good Luck with your post...some Bama poster did the same about Kozan and the AU collective melted instantaneously

Most highly rated Mullen Oline recruit of all-time. I thought it was telling when OM and Auburn withdrew their offers. Wish him the best.

I like Damien a lot. I feel really bad for him. I was hoping for him to contribute this year, but like others, I didn't see him as a starter.
