UConn running back transfer Durell Robinson took his first visit of the portal window this week to Auburn.

He may not take another visit.

"The portal does move fast, so I just really got to see how things play out with other schools, but this could possibly be my last visit," Robinson said. "It's definitely a possibility, but if not, Arkansas, Mississippi State, a few other SECs have hit my phone, but we're just going to see how everything plays out."

From the moment Robinson walked in the doors of the Woltosz Football Performance Center, he was amazed.

"It's nothing I'm used to and it just, I felt that family vibe as soon as I walked out through the door and the coaches felt the same way," Robinson said. "That's why they've been trying to get me here a lot. I feel like I can bring a lot of energy to this program. I'm loving it, I can't lie."

Robinson, who fits the frame of the bigger back that Auburn is looking for, rushed for 736 yards and eight touchdowns with UConn this season, averaging 6.8 yards per carry. When he heard from Auburn, he was quick to do his research and set up a visit.

"I did my research and I looked at the situations for them and the other schools that called me and I said, so right now this is like the best situation for me." Robinson said. "Let me go see if it's as real as I think it is and so far it's lived up to the hype."

While it was difficult for Robinson to think of a favorite moment of the visit, one interaction stuck out.

"I'm from Maryland area," Robinson said. "We live five minutes away from where the Redskins play FedEx. I met Jason Campbell. Y'all can only imagine. Yeah, I met Jason Campbell. He knew my name. He compared me to some of the backs he played with. I was turnt. I was like, whoa."

Robinson attended high school at St. Frances Academy, where Auburn just signed three defensive players out of in the 2025 class — cornerback Blake Woodby, linebacker Bryce Deas and defensive lineman Darrion Smith.

"I call them Bobble, Juice, and D," Robinson said. "Those are my guys, though. When I was a senior, they were sophomores. They had a lot of talent back then, so I knew they would build a big stage like this when it was their time. So I'm definitely proud of them and glad to see them up here. We might be able to make magic again."
