Maxwell Robinson

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-3, 275 lbs. Taller than 5% and heavier than 11% of 2026 Interior Offensive Line prospects in the SEC Scouts database (207 with a listed size).

Play Style

Available evaluations point to a big-bodied blocker who wins by moving defenders off the ball. That fits his shot-put power profile and Derby's physical, run-first reputation in Kansas 6A. The swing between a tackle label (ESPN) and an interior projection (247/On3) suggests he played on the edge in high school but that scouts see his best college future at guard, where his feet do not have to hold up against speed rushers on an island. I could not find verified film breakdowns, camp testing numbers or combine results, so specific traits on film such as foot speed in pass sets or finishing ability cannot be confirmed from public sources.

Strengths

• Positional flexibility: evaluators split between OT (ESPN) and IOL (247/On3). That points to a lineman who can train at guard and still take tackle reps in an emergency, which is useful for a Sun Belt staff building depth.
• Shot-put background: regional qualification as a junior shows he can transfer force from the ground up and time his hip rotation. Those traits show up in run blocking when he drives off the ball and in anchoring against a bull rush once he adds mass.
• Rated like a Power Four prospect: a 0.8944 composite and a No. 25 national IOL ranking put him near the top of Georgia State's 2026 class on paper, so he has more raw talent than a typical Group of Five offensive-line signee.

Areas to Improve

• Mass and play strength: he needs to get from about 275 to 300+ pounds through a college strength program. At his current weight, Sun Belt nose tackles and 3-techniques will push him back into the pocket and he won't hold ground on double teams.
• Consistent technique: as a big Kansas prospect who could win on size and athleticism in high school, he will need to clean up pad level, hand placement and footwork. The move inside (short sets, combo blocks, picking up twists and stunts) will be a new skill set if he mostly played tackle at Derby.

College Projection

He is a likely redshirt in 2026 as a true freshman on Georgia State's line, taking scout-team and depth reps while he goes through the strength program. The most realistic path is a guard rotation role as a redshirt freshman in 2027 and a contest for a starting interior spot by 2028 at around 300-310 pounds. As a Power Four-caliber prospect at a Sun Belt program, he has a better chance than most at early playing time, and also a real chance of attracting transfer-portal interest if he develops fast.

NFL Outlook

This is a long-range projection. He does not have the size, strength or refined technique to be a draft prospect yet. If he gets to 6-5/310 while keeping the athleticism the shot put suggests, and becomes a multi-year starter who can play guard and fill in at tackle, he could become a Day 3 or priority free-agent candidate around 2029-2030. Linemen who can play several positions get extra consideration at that level. Coming from the Sun Belt means he would need dominant tape and strong pre-draft testing.

Best Fit

His best fit is a gap or duo-heavy run scheme that uses guards on down blocks, pulls and double teams, where his power and hip explosion help most. It should also be a program with a structured multi-year strength development plan and no pressure to play him before he reaches 300 pounds. Georgia State fits that description if the staff redshirts him and develops him at guard rather than rushing him onto the field at tackle.
