RICHMOND, Ky. – Kelvin Robinson, a 6-2 guard out of Northwest Florida State College, has signed to play basketball at Eastern Kentucky University, head coach A.W. Hamilton announced on Tuesday.
 
Robinson signed with Appalachian State following a standout prep career at Episcopal Collegiate School in Little Rock, Arkansas. He started 18 games for the Mountaineers as a true freshman in 2016-17, averaging 7.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists-per-game. Robinson notably scored 12 points at Tennessee on November 15, 2016 and had 12 points, on 3-of-3 shooting from deep, at Duke on November 26, 2016.
 
"Kelvin is one of the best all-around guards in the country," Hamilton said. "He's tremendous in transition, not only scoring, but passing and making simple basketball plays. The thing that excites me most about Kelvin is, with his size and strength, he has the ability to be Defensive Player of the Year in the OVC. He fits in to our style of playing two combo guards together, and his experience playing for Coach Steve Demeo at Northwest Florida will be pivotal as we look to compete for a championship in 2018-19."
 
Robinson averaged 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists-per-game for Northwest Florida in 2017-18, leading the Raiders to a 31-3 record and a No. 5 national junior college ranking.
 
Robinson posted 26.0 points and 11.0 rebounds-per-game as a senior at Episcopal Collegiate School. He graduated as the all-time leading scorer in school history with over 1,800 career points.

Also a standout football star, Robinson rushed for 2,094 yards and 33 touchdowns as a high school senior. At a University of Memphis football camp, Robinson was clocked with a 4.55 40-yard dash

He is Hamilton's fourth signee in the class of 2018, joining North Carolina State transfer Darius Hicks (Quitman, Mississippi), junior college transfer Jordan Oakley (La Plata, Maryland) and incoming freshman Tre King (Lexington, Kentucky).
