4-star athlete of the City League 2026 misses the entire season due to injury

One of the Pittsburgh City League's top athletes (and a Pitt target for the class of 2026) will miss his entire junior season.

Kyshawn Robinson, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound athlete from Westinghouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, announced on social media Wednesday that he suffered an injury that will sideline him for the entire season, with just days left until the start of the season.

“I ruined my hip. I don't know exactly what's going on, but I know I need surgery,” Robinson said Pittsburgh Sports Now's sister site Nittany Sports now.

Robinson is one of the WPIAL's top recruits, recently narrowing a long list of offers down to six: Colorado, Florida State, Ohio State, Penn State, Pitt and West Virginia.

Pitt entered the race for Robinson when safeties coach Cory Sanders made an offer last April. Sanders and the entire coaching staff made Robinson a priority in the months that followed.

“I think my coach and Pitt's safety coach (Cory Sanders) had been talking for a while and I was on Pitt's radar,” Robinson told PSN last year. “Coach Sanders came by and watched me practice to see what type of player and teammate I was. After practice, my coach called me over and I had a long talk with him, then he offered me.”

Pitt has thrown a lot of defensive backs around since Narduzzi took over as head coach, with Sanders and secondary coach Archie Collins in charge for most of that time, and that was certainly a factor. He sees Pitt as more effective.

“I think Pitt will become a better program in the coming years because of the transfer portal,” Robinson said. “A What stands out to me about Pitt is their selection of defensive backs.”

Robinson is a local boy who has been part of the program his entire life, but he was there when the Panthers beat then-No. 14 Louisville at Acrisure Stadium last fall.

Pitt will undoubtedly continue to favor Robinson in the WPIAL/City League, even though his injury is season-ending.
