With Miami in need of an additional NT for next years class lets take a look 6'3" 350lbs Marshall Robinson 2015 NT as a Miami Prospect. Robinson is a 3A all-state Pennsylvania DT, he is simply mammoth but is extremely athletic (clocked a 5.2sec 40yd dash) an quick in 20 yd area which is what you want from NT in giving back side short area press pursuit. At the point of attack Robinson is ferocious in defeating double teams on his way to hunting down the ball carrier, which he does well in traffic with an innate ability to cause havoc. He plays with very good leverage and first step explosion yet can turn at full speed to chase a play moving away from him, demonstrating a high motor which is key in providing inside to out defense against screen offenses.
Robinson currently only has 1 offer which is from Temple but he has visited PSU and Pitt an while they express interest they still slow playing him.

AG and Staff have their connections in Pennsylvania through which this young man is a prospect they should definitely reach out to; considering Robinson would be an ideal 0-Techinique. If there are academic concerns reaching out to the young man (he is only 16yrs old, which is fine because he would likely redshirt) from now would give him both the time and motivation to get his affairs in order. But I think it is more his style of play doesn't fit what PSU or PITT do on defense, where as he is a born 2 gap'er which is what Miami needs. The Temple staff has compared Robinson to a young Terrance Knighton (former Temple football player now on the Denver Broncos), and considering Al Golden was the Coach who developed Knighton, that should make the Miami recruiting pitch a slam dunk should UM offer Robinson, which I think UM should (considering UM offered and accepted a commit from Hayden Mahoney, an Robinson would eat his lunch on the playing field for all day long)
