While most recruits were busy preparing for their senior season’s, participating in camps or visiting college campuses, Lamont Robinson was recovering from a potentially devastating experience. Shortly after announcing his commitment to the University of Virginia, Robinson was involved in a car accident that resulted in serious injuries to the neck and back.

Thankfully, he is almost fully recovered.

“I had car accident and I broke bones in my back and neck,” Robinson said. “The summer went by real well. I healed up and just got my release to get back working out.
