Robinson Junior LB Lands Offers, Senior DE Draws Interest

Robinson, a traditional high school football power out of Fairfax, Virginia, boasts a top 2010 class recruit in 6-3 1/2, 200-pound Brian Laiti . Laiti, a middle linebacker, leads a young defense that includes only three seniors and two returning starters from last year’s squad. He is coming off of a sophomore season performance that has earned him two official scholarship offers thus far with more likely to come in the near future.

“Brian has two written offers. They are Virginia Tech and West Virginia,” Robinson head coach Mark Bendorf said. “Then he has a verbal from UVa, which he got in the spring. Boston College and Syracuse also came by in the spring and my impression is that they are going to recruit him. Most of the 1As that came in and looked at his film walked out saying he was a guy they would recruit.”

Coming from a football family, Brian is the youngest of four brothers who have all suited up for the Rams. Peter and Patrick Laiti (pronounced Lie-tee) helped the Rams capture a state championship, while David, who graduated in 2007, helped Robinson to a state championship appearance.

“They were all good football players,” Bendorf recalled. “Two of them were linebackers. David was a running back/defensive back. Brian is another linebacker. They were all pretty much in the 6-0, 185-pound range, but Brian is 6-3 1/2, 200 pounds. He definitely got the size, but I’m not sure where it came from (laughs).”
