It’s always nice to recognize one of your own and the Akron community should be proud of 2021 Copley High School graduate, 23 year old Landon Robinson for being nominate for the NFL’s Salute to Service Award.
The award recognizes NFL players, coaches, staff and alumni who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to honoring and supporting military and veteran communities.
The rookie defensive tackle is the Cincinnati Bengals nominee.
Robinson graduated from the US Naval Academy with a degree in cyber operations. He was drafted by the Bengals in the 7th round earlier this spring. Robinson is commissioned as a second lieutenant officer in the Marines and he is continuing his reserve obligation.
In April, Robinson alongside his mother Patrice Robinson, created the Landon Robinson Foundation, a mental health advocacy organization, addressing youth suicide.
