HOUR 3 | Segment 3 - Virginia's Cam Robinson talks ACC kickoff, interceptions, and hunting
from Wire 2 Wire with Diesel and Cole Bryson
During Day 1 of the ACC Kickoff, Virginia Cavaliers senior linebacker Cam Robinson joined the show to share his experiences. He reflected on his career interceptions, highlighting his first one against Louisville in 2023 as the most memorable. Robinson also humorously discussed teammate spending habits on NIL money and shared that his head coach, Tony Elliott, gifts the team new suits annually. Beyond football, he revealed his passion for the outdoors, specifically whitetail deer hunting and rabbit hunting in Virginia, and even shared a photo of his biggest catch. Robinson emphasized the importance of maintaining consistency and composure heading into the new season under coach John Rudzinski, who has given him the freedom to play with a high-energy, high-school-like mentality. The hosts praised Robinson's performance history, noting he is the only player in the last 20 years to achieve a blocked punt, an interception return for a touchdown, and a fumble recovery all in a single season.
