On May 20, 2020, Robinson was named the ACC Male Athlete of the Year, an award for the top male player across all sports in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

He made his MLS debut for Inter Miami against Los Angeles FC on March 1, 2020.[9]

International career

Robinson is eligible to play for Chile and for the United States, since he was born in the United States to an American father and a Chilean mother.

On August 23, 2021, he was called up to the Chile national team.[10] Days later, he arrived at Santiago before three matches for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification. On September 1, the day before the first match against Brazil, he received the nationalization documents and his Chilean passport. However, on the same day, Robinson returned to Miami citing he needed more time to decide which team to represent.[11]
