Head Coach Dan Griest commented on Robin’s signing:
“Robin is another player that comes highly sought after from Bowling Green University. He is an extremely versatile player, with tremendous size, pace, composure and technical ability. His ability to play both centerback or outside back will make him extremely valuable to us this summer as we look to be able to transition fluidly between formations. Robin is young and hungry and looking to make waves on the national stage, and I am looking forward to seeing have a massive summer with us as we look to repeat as Great Lakes Division champions”.
