Career highlights and awards

Justin DeVaughn Robinson (born April 12, 1995) is an American college basketball player who currently plays for the Monmouth Hawks.

Robinson did not receive many scholarship offers out of high school due to his small stature.[1] He scored 22 points in a 70-68 win over Notre Dame on November 26, 2015, the program's first victory over a ranked opponent.[2] As a junior, Robinson averaged 20.2 points, 3.7 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. He led Monmouth to its first ever MAAC regular season title and a school record 25 victories. As a result, he was named to the First-team All-MAAC for the second straight year as well as MAAC Player of the Year. On three occasions Robinson was named MAAC Player of the week. Robinson also played football for Kingston High school where he played defensive back.[3]
