Semajay Robinson measures listed at about 6-foot-3 and between 180–190 pounds and plays for Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. (statecollege.com) Penn State first extended a scholarship offer to Robinson on Jan. 27 and the staff — led in recruiting by cornerbacks coach Terry Smith — maintained heavy contact through his spring visit. (on3.com) Robinson arrived on campus with a national ledger of Power-Four interest and held offers from programs including Auburn, Florida State, California, North Carolina, Louisville and Pittsburgh. (247sports.com) Recruiting services are split on his evaluation: outlets such as On3 and Rivals list him among four-star/Rivals300 prospects, while the 247Sports Composite has him as a three-star, the No. 41 player in Florida and the No. 46 cornerback nationally. (on3.com) Penn State’s new receivers coach Kashif Moore was hired in mid‑February after a short stint at Colorado State and is credited with helping UConn’s Skyler Bell achieve All‑American status during his prior work. (pennlive.com) Top in‑state perimeter target Khalil Taylor previously made and later reopened a pledge to Penn State (he decommitted in October 2025) but has returned to campus for spring evaluations and is scheduled for additional visits as the staff pursues him.
