... that it was through a social media post that 2023 NFL Draft pick Tavius Robinson was able to play college football? Source: The Commercial Appeal ("Robinson, a 6-foot-7, 245-pound edge rusher, ended up at Ole Miss because of Twitter. U Sports, Canada's equivalent of the NCAA, canceled its 2020 fall championships in June. That left Robinson and his teammates at University of Guelph without a season to prepare for. So Robinson took to social media. 'I had actually already made a highlight tape before my senior year got canceled,' Robinson said. 'I made a Twitter and started sending it out and stuff. As one coach found it, more coaches started finding it. From there I got this opportunity.'")
QPQ: - Not done Overall: @BeanieFan11: Good article. Though, i'm not seeing where citation 2 states that he attended GCVI. Also needs a qpq. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:54, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would guess he was "able to play football" but the social media post allowed him to "receive several offers" so i will modify the hook slightly. If you disagree we can continue on the talk page.

I still don'e think the hook is excellent, so I count on the hook adjustors to proof it. Bruxton (talk) 13:34, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
