Former NC State basketball folk hero walk-on Jevoni Robinson, who proved talented enough to finish his career as a rotation player for D-II Barry University, has turned his attention to football in recent years. He had a cup of coffee with the Texans, and has spent time on rosters in the (now-defunct) AAF, (now-defunct) Spring League, and XFL.
Earlier this month, he was selected by the BC Lions in the CFL’s Global Draft.
Robinson hasn’t been able to stick on a roster at the pro football level, but for someone who hadn’t played organized football since high school, I’d say he’s done pretty well.
