Sticking with the Sunflower State and talent-rich Derby High School, who just produced now-Kansas State RB Dylan Edwards and is home to 2025 near 5-star TE Da’Saahn Brame, 2026 mauler of an OL Maxwell Robinson Maxwell Robinson 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL Derby | 2026 State KS is continuing the trend of prolific Panthers products. 6’4, 270 lbs. and already possessing a 330 lb. bench, 275 lb. hang clean, and 475 lb. squat, as well as a reported 5.0 40, Robinson experienced one of the biggest recruiting blowups of any 2026 in the Midwest this spring. However, the Minnesota Gophers do deserve their credit for offering first, as they reached out in February for his first P4 offer after Marshall offered in December, but things really got going in April. Once that live period opened up, Robinson heard from Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Iowa State, and Arkansas, adding multiple SEC and Big12 offers to what will eventually be a massive haul of scholarships.

Robinson checks the all-important wrestling background box that I love to see in OL prospects, especially high-level ones, as well as a nasty streak I love to see as well, and he really puts the wrestling background to good use on the gridiron. The LT is bendy and excellent at adjusting and using leverage to his advantage to win reps and manhandle defenders in both the run and pass game. Displays great technique in the run game, leg drive is noticeable and consistent, plays whistle to whistle and plays with an edge, and shows off his strength when he locks out and extends his arms. Also demonstrated eye-popping burst for his size, flies out of his stance and into the second level like he’s shot out of a cannon and I like watching Robinson operate and work in space. Athletic and dominant for his size as a still-developing sophomore. Also laterally quick and explosive, nimble, light on his feet, agile, balanced for 280 lbs., and a great mix of athletic and physical. Don’t find big bodies who can move like Robinson too often, he’s going to have quite the list of suitors when it’s all said and done.
