Nathan Robinson, a 6-foot-5 and 268-pound pass rusher out of Greenbrier, Tennessee, has announced his commitment to play in the SEC.

Robinson, a 3-star recruit who is rated the No. 38 EDGE in the class of 2023 according to the 247Sports Composite, announced a commitment to Tennessee after he was recruited by Alex Golesh and Rodney Garner. He’s the No. 15 player in the state of Tennessee. He chose the Vols over Ole Miss and Kentucky, among a reported 10 offers.

“Really just the coaches,” Robinson told Volunteer Country. “I really enjoy how Coach Garner does things—just being around them. They never blew up my phone or nagged me. Coach Heupel, Coach Golesh, and Coach Garner would hit me up every three or four days to check-in. They never over recruited me to where it got on my nerves. It is Tennessee; it is what everyone around here loves. I don’t think there was a point where Tennessee was not the favorite. I tried to make it and say that everyone was even, and there was a point during the Junior Days where they had the two, and I didn’t get back to the first one; it kind of got even. But I still think Tennessee, knowing pretty well that they were inviting me to the second one, was always the school I was going to end up at based on the fact that I have grown up here, it is three hours down the road; all signs pointed to me ending up at Tennessee.”

Here are his highlights from Hudl:
