Robert Dinkins plays up to potential he’s always exhibited

Posted Sep 6, 2013
When football player Robert Dinkins enrolled at Olympic High four years ago, he was 14. Then a ninth-grader, Dinkins had the physique of a much older athlete. Everyone expected Dinkins, now 6-foot-2 and 255 pounds, to be a leader because he looked older and was so big and strong. Then he received a scholarship offer from North Carolina after his sophomore season. That only heightened the expectations. (Charlotte Observer)
