Irvine Valley freshman men's basketball player Tyler Robinson is headed to NCAA DII Lincoln University in Missouri.
Robinson, a 5-11 point guard out of El Camino High in Oceanside, helped Irvine Valley to a record of 18-11 overall and a trip to the California Community College Athletic Association So. Cal. Regional playoffs this past season.
He played in 28 games and started 15 contests for the Lasers. Robinson averaged 3.5 points, 1.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds per game.
Robinson was also named Irvine Valley's Orange Empire Conference Character Champion male winner for the 2021-22 school year.
"He had an immediate impact on the culture of IVC Athletics," IVC coach Jerry Hernandez said. "He is incredibly positive, ambitious, and a leader in his approach to his athletic and academic goals. Tyson has also been instrumental in IVC's ability to manage the relentless pace of change as part of the 2021-22 COVID-impacted basketball season."
Robinson is a business major. He had a 3.60 grade point average in his first semester and was a 2021-22 fall scholar athlete, as well as part of the Dean's List at IVC.
