16: Tyree Robinson, S (Jr.) — East Tennessee State
Robinson made plays all over the field for ETSU last year from his safety spot. He totaled 71 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, six interceptions, one interception returned for a touchdown, one fumble recovery for a touchdown and nine pass breakups.
This came after his freshman season in which he played in all 11 games and started four of them.

Robinson was named on the All-SoCon First Team and multiple All-American teams: HERO Sports All-Sophomore Team, AP, STATS and Phil Steele.
The 5-foot-11 and 184-pounder is getting plenty of preseason love as well. He's on our All-American Second Team and is also on the STATS Preseason All-American Second Team and the SoCon First Team.
