Travaris Robinson (born September 1, 1981) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at the University of South Carolina. He played college football at Auburn University. Thereafter, he played professionally for the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL.
Robinson was born in Miami, Florida. He attended Coral Park High School in Miami, where he was a four-year letterman and earned all-state honors as a defensive back and wide receiver.
Robinson received an athletic scholarship to attend Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, where he played defensive back for coach Tommy Tuberville's Auburn Tigers football team from 1999 to 2002 (under defensive coordinators John Lovett and Gene Chizik). He played in 48 games at free safety, while helping the Tigers win three consecutive Southeastern Conference (SEC) West Division championships. During his senior season, Robinson was selected the Most Valuable Player of the Iron Bowl and was a first-team AP all-SEC selection after collecting 92 total tackles, intercepting four passes and breaking up three others. The Tigers went on to defeat Penn State in the Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day and finished ranked in the top 20 in both the final Associated Press and Coaches' polls. He then played for three seasons for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before returning to Auburn and earning his bachelor's degree in Communications in 2006.
