TFB spoke with Robinson concerning his commitment, and he had this say about it.
I chose OU because it’s already a family. Coach Riley is one of the best offense coordinators in the game. He’s now the head coach – why not go somewhere where your head coach coaches the offense and also Wins Championships?
Robinson is an explosive talent. TFB’s own Alex King saw him at the Opening in Dallas in March, and had this to say (from this OP TFB: OP March 6):
The 2018 Fort Worth Paschal WR & Texas Tech commit, who recently visited OU for a Jr Day tested out really well on the day with a ridiculous 3.88 Shuttle and 4.54 laser timed 40. Every time I looked up and saw him he was blowing by a corner for a deep catch in 1v1s. His speed makes him a nightmare to cover.
He originally committed to Texas Tech in October of 2016. He started picking up more offers in the spring, then picked up the big one.

A few short days after picking up this offer, he decommitted from Texas Tech. TFB spoke with him about this, and he called OU his, “dream school.” Additionally, he said that the OU offer was the reason he open up his recruiting again.
On June 18th, Robinson took an unofficial visit to OU. He called it the best so far, saying he has a great relationship with Coach Gundy and that the offense at OU was what he likes most, from this Open Post – TFB: OP June 19.

After the visit, it was clear that OU had captured Robinson’s attention and that OU wanted him to join the family. As of today, he has done just that.
