Evidently Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers have continued to poke around the transfer portal late in the cycle as Auburn announced the signing of Colorado transfer and former Alabama defensive back Jahquez Robinson on Friday evening.

Robinson, who hails from Jacksonville, spent the 2023 season at Colorado after having started his career at Alabama, where he signed as a 3-star recruit in the class of 2020. Robinson was ranked as the 33rd-best cornerback in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.

A reserve during his time in Tuscaloosa, Robinson didn’t see action with the Crimson Tide and ultimately decided to follow his position coach, Charles Kelly, to Colorado.

“(Kelly) was one of the guys when he left I was sad. That’s who I was always around and always watching game films with and learning the game,” Robinson said in an interview last summer.

Between his time at Alabama and his time at Colorado, Kelly has served as Robinson’s position coach in each season of college football he’s played.

Robinson is set to reunite with Kelly, who was hired as Auburn’s co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach in January.

During his 2023 campaign, Robinson appeared in four games and tallied eight tackles and an interception.

While Auburn lists Robinson as a safety, Robinson advertises himself as a versatile defensive back that’s played some at corner, nickel and safety.

With Robinson in the fold, the Tigers have added three transfer defensive backs as Robinson joins Alabama transfer Antonio Kite and Texas transfer Jerrin Thompson.

Robinson should have two years of eligibility remaining.
