The Hornets dealt with some departures on the offensive side, losing two starters in wide receiver Kisean Johnson and quarterback Damon Stewart when they entered their names into the NCAA transfer portal. Robinson called it being apart of the current college football landscape.
“You just have to adjust to the landscape of college football. It makes no sense to complain about it because it’s the same rules for everybody whether you like it or not,” Robinson said. “We loss some really good players but the show still goes on.”
“We have to replace those guys and keep the culture in the building strong. Making sure we’re checking in on guys and developing stable relationships will create less turnover in a program.”

In regards to the 2024 season, Robinson wants to take the steps to being a dominant football team. Winning is what he’s expecting from this group in the fall.
”We just want to win a couple more football games. Last year we had some tough losses and some big wins. The season was moving in the right direction but we want more. The players want more. The coaches want more and we expect more. All we want to do is take that next step to being a dominating football team.”
