During their Saturday afternoon matchup with Penn State, Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies coaching staff hosted several top high school recruits on unofficial visits. Among the loaded list of talent was 2028 three-star edge rusher Andre Robinson, a product of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
In his junior year, the highly touted pass rusher will stop on Montlake for his first unofficial visit to UW. According to Rivals, this weekend marks the second stop for Robinson this fall, as he took an unofficial visit to Georgia Tech in September.

After spending his first two years of high school football at Camden High School in his home state of New Jersey, Robinson transferred to IMG for his junior campaign, where he has tallied 39 tackles, 13 for loss, and 3.5 sacks. In his short time in Florida, the standout edge rusher has become the No. 50-ranked player in the state and No. 40 in the nation at his position, according to the 247Sports Composite.
While programs across the country have continued to ramp up their pursuit of the 6-foot-4, 225-pound prospect, Fisch and outside linebackers coach Aaron Van Horn have an additional connection with their target, as 2027 four-star IMG cornerback Censere Gaylord is set to take his talents to Montlake next season, and was also on campus over the weekend. Along with already landing one of Robinson’s teammates, the current staff has proven time and time again that it’s not afraid to travel eastward in pursuit of a coveted recruit.
On film, it doesn’t take long to realize that Robinson’s biggest asset is his speed. Possessing a long, athletic frame, the junior showcases the ability to work around the edge and generate pressure on quarterbacks, while also having the athleticism to make plays in open space. The high level of play has helped him draw offers from the likes of Notre Dame, Indiana, and Penn State, among others.
