Add Jaylen Robinson Jaylen Robinson 5'9" | 185 lbs | LB Washington Township | 2026 State NJ to that list. Robinson is a full-force hitter who can absolutely jar the ball loose with the sheer force of contact he makes with the ball carrier. He also possesses very good timing and instincts when looking to shoot the backside window to make tackles for loss/underneath. What I love most about Robinson’s game is that he plays downhill. We se that he also plays running back and can separate from defenders – a skillset that transfers to defense as he can beat running backs to the sideline. The speed at which he sees things unfold in front of him allows him to eliminate cutback opportunities as well.
