The skinny: Robertson took official visits to Arizona State, Oklahoma and Illinois before committing to the Sun Devils during the February National Signing Day. Linebacker was a position of need for Arizona State, so this was a big recruiting victory for coach Herm Edwards. In Tempe, Robertson has already emerged as one of the top playmakers on the Sun Devils’ defense with 39 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Farrell’s take: Robertson was a big, physical linebacker coming out of high school who arrived at the football with a thump. He was also solid in coverage despite having such great size and his versatility was one of the reasons we had him ranked so high. It’s not a huge surprise he’s made such an immediate impact because he was college-ready from a physical standpoint.
So we said no to this guy right? Who takes the L for this one? Mike still?
