Corey Robinson, Lone Oak's former record-setting quarterback and Kentucky's Mr. Football in 2007, is showing that he might be able to make an immediate contribution at Troy. Robinson, a freshman, was 8-for-10 for 102 yards and a touchdown in Troy's spring game last weekend.
Robinson will be considered a true freshman this fall after "grayshirting" in 2008, a move that didn't cost him any eligibility. Robinson paid his own way at Troy during the first semester and is now on scholarship, a process used by some Division I schools to stash an extra recruit or two — Kentucky often did it a few years ago as Rich Brooks' program had been penalized some scholarships by the NCAA.
Word is that the Trojans would like to redshirt Robinson, giving him four more seasons, but his performance in the spring game — his numbers were much better than those of projected starter Levi Brown — shows he might push for time this fall.
