With one MLS start, D.C. United’s Jalen Robinson remains very much a student of the game.
He is also a student.
Since leaving Wake Forest two years early to sign a homegrown contract in 2014, Robinson has continued pursuing a financial economics degree through online and on-site classes at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in Catonsville, his hometown.
“It’s going to be worth it in the long run,” he said this week. “I’ll have a degree and I won’t have to worry about school when it’s all over.”
Robinson, 22, has taken classes regularly for two years.
