Jimmie Robinson Collects FCS All-America Honors

Kick returner grabs FCS end-of-year honors

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman kick return specialist Jimmie Robinson was named to the STATS FCS All-America Team, announced Tuesday afternoon.

 Jimmie Robinson, a 5-8, 162-pound senior from Palm Coast, Florida, transferred into the BCU program from Mercer.

 The Palm Coast High alum was named as a STATS FCS Third-Team All-America performer as a kick returner.

 In November, Robinson – one of the most electrifying kick returners in the nation, was selected as a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) all-league second team member as a kick returner. Robinson currently sits tied for second in the country in kickoff return touchdowns (3), as well as third in kickoff return yards (730 / 33.2 ypr).

 He netted his first career 100-yard kickoff return for touchdown against North Carolina Central. Robinson went on to set a school record with 202 kickoff return yards and two touchdowns against Howard in the 35th Circle City Classic in Indianapolis. Additionally, Robinson led the MEAC during the regular season in all-purpose yards (126 y/g) and finished sixth in scoring (68 pts).
