As good of a player Matt is.....I'm sure he would be successful as an outside LB.......JDH is an All-Conference LB you got to remember, it would be hard taking his place....

That's where the problem with Robinson is. I (personally) believe that Robinson has the speed to play MLB, but NOT as an OLB. I don't believe that JDH has the speed to play on the outside either. NAIA is kinda like the Wild, Wild, West: they will throw it all over the field at any given down, distance, or situation. If Robinson is forced to play OLB, he would be in coverage the majority of the time, matched up against slot receivers or RB's. That's a bad matchup. His gift, from what few times I have seen him play, is an ability to find the ball, get to the ball, and make plays. If he is forced to play in space and try to cover receivers, you have effectively taken away his greatest strength.

Please don't get me wrong. I think JDH and Robinson both are fantastic players. I just personally believe that they both are kinda locked into the same position, and unless UPIKE switches to a 4-4, 5-2, or some other scheme that employs 2 MLB types, there will likely be only one of them on the field at a time.

Best of luck to the young man, though. He's a great player.
