Jojo Robinson‘s winding college football road will apparently take him next to Lubbock.
Using his Twitter account as a microphone, Robinson announced that, “with a lot of prayer and support,” he has decided to continue his playing career at Texas Tech. The wide receiver had spent the 2016 season at a junior college, thus making him eligible to play immediately in 2017.
Including this season, Robinson will have two years of eligibility remaining.Thanking the man above for blessing me & giving me this 2nd chance to prove my worth With God & famiy anything is possible @RedRaiderSports pic.twitter.com/BrJqrD9hvW

Originally a Florida State verbal, Robinson ultimately flipped to Arkansas to become a four-star member of the Razorbacks’ 2014 recruiting class. He was suspended for one game his first season in Fayetteville after he was arrested for armed robbery after signing with UA; that charge was ultimately dropped.
In 2015, Robinson was dismissed by head coach Bret Bielema, reportedly for not going to class. Prior to that dismissal, he caught six passes for 53 yards as a redshirt freshman.
The Red Raiders had lost at least two wide receivers to transfer this offseason, including their top pass-catcher, Jonathan Giles, in late April. Tech’s leader in receptions (69), receiving yards (1,158), receiving touchdowns (13) and yards per catch (16.8) last season ultimately opted for LSU a month later.
In early May, Tony Brown announced his decision to transfer as well. Earlier this month, he revealed that he would be moving on to Colorado.
