Robinson will look to become Minnesota's latest FCS to Big Ten success story.
After three years playing FCS football at Bucknell University in central Pennsylvania, cornerback Ethan Robinson decided to enter the transfer portal as a graduate student in the offseason. He played 1,905 career snaps with the Bison, starting 26 games and even earned All-Patriot League honors in 2023.
"Coaching staff, culture all that kind of stuff," Robinson said when asked about his decision. "I felt like this was the best fit for me, in terms of football-wise, school-wise, and just everything with where I was in my life. And the area is not too bad at all, being downtown Minneapolis." "Learning how to utilize the resources to take care of your body, coming from a smaller school you don't necessarily," Robinson said. "So just learning how to put in the time and get ready to go through this longer season, longer stretch and still compete at a high level each and every week."
In the18-team Big Ten, Minnesota does not have many easy games on the schedule. For Robinson, marquee matchups of his past were against the likes of Holy Cross, Georgetown and Colgate. Now he'll be facing Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin.
