Travaris Robinson spent years recruiting kids away from South Florida; now, he’ll be keeping them home with Hurricanes

New Miami Hurricanes defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson has had his share of recruiting victories in South Florida with three different SEC schools over the past decade.

Whether it be a Quincy Wilson, Brandon Powell or Marcus Roberson when he was at Florida from 2011-14, Carlton Davis or Tim Irvin in 2015 at his alma mater Auburn or Keir Thomas or Rosendo Louis in the years since at South Carolina, Robinson mastered the art of coming down to his home region and pulling prospects away.

His recruiting pitch may need some alterations now. He’ll be working to convince kids to stay home at UM for college instead of going elsewhere.
