The Eagles took another step towards wrapping up the rookie contracts for the 2025 Draft Class on Thursday when they signed fourth-round pick, defensive tackle Ty Robinson. He was the first of eight picks for the Eagles on the third and final day of the draft.
Robinson (6-5, 288 pounds) played 60 games for the Cornhuskers, tallying 134 tackles and 12 sacks in five seasons after redshirting in 2019. He tied the school record for most games played.
The Gilbert, Arizona, native earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2024 after picking up 12 tackles for loss and seven sacks.
Robinson was named the 2024 Guy Chamberlin Award winner, which is given to a Nebraska senior player who has shown by his play and contributions to the team that he has the qualities and dedication of legendary Pro Football Hall of Famer Guy Chamberlin.
He played with Eagles center Cam Jurgens during his time in college and is reunited with his former teammate.
"Cam was a year older than me when I came in. So, I got to kind of see him grow up and learn the position at center. We got to battle each other every day, so we're pretty close," Robinson said.
Assistant GM Alec Halaby's scouting report: "Ty Robinson is a very disruptive player on the interior. You can play him at a lot of different spots along the front. I think he outworks whoever is across from him. He's someone who can win early in the down, but he can also win late in the down. He's pretty mature with his hand use – his ability to get on edges. He can win down the middle – he's a large man – but he can also win on the edges because he's slippery enough, he's adept enough, and fast enough with his hands and body to give you multiple ways to rush. He gives extremely high effort in the run game. He will strike people if you give him a double-team and he can stand up to a vertical double – he can find a way to split it. He is both talented and gives high effort, which is an intersection that we like to live in."
