'This visit was just special,' four-star running back Tyson Robison told Ray. 'Just sitting in the position meetings and watching different things. Just talking to Coach Sims and Coach Heupel was just great. Coach Heupel just connects with players, and I love it.'
Robinson suggested the more he is Knoxville, the more he likes the program, which now sits at or near the top of his school rankings.
"High. High," Robinson said when asked where Tennessee is in his recruiting after the weekend. "They are very high for me."

Robinson explained why every time he's been on Tennessee's campus has been great.

'Each time here is just different,' Robinson added. 'Like my first time here, we talked about inside zone, and we just keep talking about more and more, like this time we talked about blocking schemes and triangle schemes.
"Just coaching points that you can take and learn, so I think it is more beneficial to me.'
Ray reported Friday that Robinson is already planning two more visits to Knoxville. The running back "hopes to return" to Tennessee's campus again in June.
Robinson is also planning to be at Neyland Stadium for the matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs this fall.
The 247 Sports composite rankings have Robinson rated as the No. 3 running back and No. 2 Mississippi prospect in the 2027 recruiting class.
