East Gadsden QB Robinson commits to play at FAMU

QB Robinson selects FAMU over offers from Division I FBS FAU and Troy

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  --  Treveze Robinson proved that he has the arm to be a solid quarterback during his high school career at East Gadsden. He also has some intangibles that should put his college coaches at ease.

While confirming Thursday that he’s committed to play college football at FAMU, Robinson was brimming with confidence. That was clear in the matter-of-fact way that he said he wants to challenge Damien Fleming for the starting job.

“I think I can come in and start as a freshman,” Robinson said. “I can win the team over. I plan to enroll for the summer because I want to be ready to compete as a true freshman.”

Corey Fuller, head coach at East Gadsden, said it’s been Robinson confidence that made him one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Bend this past season.

“As quarterback, that’s what you want,” Fuller said. “He is confident but not cocky. We support our kids and we want them to be confident because they make the team that they’re going to look better and it makes the program that they come from look better.”

Robinson, 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, is the first quarterback commitment for FAMU. It caps an impressive week for him after he was named the first-team quarterback on the Democrat’s All-Big Bend team.
