The 6-foot-4 guard started as a freshman and averaged 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He missed a month of his freshman season after injuring his wrist but returned in early March.

The guard had a season-high 32 points in a win over Sacred Heart, but his scoring exploits did not help BC in the ACC, as the team won only twice. The Eagles were more competitive in 2017-18 with Robinson and fellow guard Ky Bowman provided a scoring punch. The junior led the squad with 20.7 points. He exploded for 46 points in a loss to Notre Dame. The Eagles were invited to the NIT, where Robinson scored 17 points in a loss to Western Kentucky. After three seasons at Boston College, he opted for the 2018 NBA Draft and was selected 13th overall by the Clippers.
