BROOKS BUCE

“My grandmother is the strongest woman I’ve ever met,” Robertson said. “She started as a janitor and a single parent to my father, where she used to eat the leftovers of the patient’s tray because she couldn’t afford food. But over time, she worked her butt off to be the senior engineer of that entire hospital. It just shows that it’s okay to struggle. As long as you keep pushing, it’s going to work out. She went back to school, got her degree, and that’s the role model I would want to follow any day.”

On Saturday, Robertson will play in his 51st career game with just seven guaranteed games remaining in his collegiate career. The senior linebacker will suit up alongside Carlton Martial, whom he deems his brother, for one of the final times.

“It’s a weird feeling,” Robertson said. “Carlton and I were talking about how it’s starting to hit us now that we only have a couple more games left. It’s crazy. It’s very emotional. All the memories with the fantastic fans I was blessed enough to play in front of, and all the brothers I’ve had during all these years that I’ll never be able to suit up with again. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve done or been able to do. I was blessed to be a part of the good, the bad and the ugly. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I would do it all over again. And Carlton, that’s my best friend. That’s my brother, and he deserves everything that’s coming for him. There’s not another guy I would go to war with than him.”
