Categories: BaseballOutfielder Cody Robinson has become Tulane’s seventh baseball commitment, choosing the Green Wave after taking official visits to LSU and Rice last week.
“They’ve got great academics and great facilities,” said Robinson, a senior at Lamar Consolidated High School in Sugarland, Texas. “And they’re also a close-knit group of guys who have a tremendous shot to get back to Omaha.
“They also really get involved in the community, and that’s important to me. I want to do everything in my power to come in and contribute.”
Robinson hit .435 with 12 home runs and 52 RBI as a junior, earning both All-Metro Houston and Texas Class 4-A All-State honors.
He was on the Texas team in the Area Code Games played last month in Long Beach, Calif.
Robinson is on the Academic Honor Roll list at Lamar for students with at least a 3.30 GPA.
Robinson said he enjoyed his visits to LSU and Rice, but he felt more at home at Tulane.
“I made a better connection with the coaching staff,” he said. “LSU was fine, but I like the small community over the big community and Tulane had more of down home atmosphere.
“Tulane wasn’t just the place I needed to be; it was the place I needed to be.”
