Video: Merlin sophomore year
See highlights of Robertson in actionThere
is nothing worse for a quarterback or running back than seeing a big,
bad outside linebacker staring back at them play after play. Both
offensive players can only hope that their line can put a helmet on that
guy long enough to get the ball out of said linebacker's domain to
minimize his effectiveness. Trouble is for offensive players,
Merlin Neenee Robertson's domain appears to be the entire field.
Robertson is about to enter his junior season but is already a two-year varsity veteran for
Serra (Gardena, Calif.).
The 6-foot-2, 230-pound tackling machine was called up during his
freshman year, playing in 10 total games and cracking the starting
lineup by game No. 3 in 2014. Still feeling his way around California
offenses, Robertson's natural athleticism and instincts helped him to 68
tackles (30 solo), 11 tackles for loss, four sacks, five passes
defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 2014.
Cavaliers
fans were not let down by Robertson's sophomore campaign, seeing him
fight past opposing offenses game-planning against him, or running the
other way, for a team-high 95 tackles (34 solo) with 12 tackles for
loss, three sacks, two passes defensed and three forced fumbles.
Serra muscled its way to a 9-3 mark last season before losing a 28-27 heartbreaker to powerhouse Mater Dei (Santa Ana).
