Robinson had previously entered and withdrawn from the draft after his sophomore season in 2016 after surgery on a stress fracture in his left foot.
Robinson is coming off an NCAA Tournament where he averaged 12.5 points and 6 rebounds per game, including a career-high-tying 24 points against East Tennessee State in the first round.
On the season, Robinson shot 47.5 from the field 39.1 percent on three-pointers while averaging 11.1 points per game, third-most on the team.
“I will always cheer on and be a huge supporter of the University of Florida,” Robinson wrote. “I will forever be a Gator.”
