Dontrayevous Robinson is part of an outstanding crop of players signed by Nebraska from the state of Texas. Robinson is one of eight players who will join the Cornhusker program from the Lone Star State. He is also one of two prolific running backs from Texas in the 2009 class, along with Rex Burkhead from Plano High.

Robinson split time between tailback and fullback as a senior for a 13-1 Euless Trinity team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation for part of the year, before being knocked out in the quarterfinals of the Class 5A playoffs. Robinson finished the season with 614 rushing yards on 112 carries, while adding 11 rushing touchdowns for Coach Steve Lineweaver. Robinson also caught 10 passes out of the backfield. Robinson also starred for the Trojans as both a sophomore and junior. During his junior season, Robinson rushed for 885 yards and 17 touchdowns and averaged better than 14 yards on 16 receptions out of the backfield. His efforts helped the Trojans to their second Class 5A state title in three seasons. Robinson first made an impact for Trinity as a sophomore in 2006, when he ran for 448 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Robinson was listed among the top 25 prospects in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area by the Dallas Morning News and is ranked among the top 70 running backs in the country by Rivals.com and Scout.com. He is also listed among the top 60 players in Texas by SuperPrep magazine. Robinson committed to the Huskers last summer, and only visited Nebraska, but had offers from Utah, New Mexico and Southern Miss to name a few.

Robinson is the son of Linda Robinson and was born on Nov. 8, 1990.
