The rising senior announced his college decision on social media.
Robbins also listed offers from Duquesne, Robert Morris, Harvard, Northeastern, Kent State, Pepperdine, Manhattan, St. Francis (Pa.), Loyola (Md.) and IU Indianapolis.

The Miami roster already includes one former WPIAL player, Fox Chapel graduate Eli Yofan.
