Tulane announces addition of former De La Salle standout Lance Robinson as transfer

NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane University football team announced today the addition of former Kansas State defensive back Lance Robinson Jr.

A native of New Orleans, Robinson spent three years with the Wildcats where he appeared in 19 career games.

Robinson saw action in two games this past season at Kansas State. In his first appearance of the season versus Arkansas State on Sept. 12, he started at cornerback and posted four tackles and a pass breakup.

In 2019, he participated in all 13 games and started the final three games against Texas Tech, Iowa State and in the Liberty Bowl versus Navy at cornerback. During the year, he recorded 13 tackles (one for loss) and a pass breakup. Robinson also totaled four special teams tackles, all on kickoff coverage which ranked fourth on the team in that category.
