Blog: Robinson becomes Georgia’s `Honey Backer’

Christian Robinson at Georgia football practice on Thursday with his new hairstyle.

Georgia inside linebacker Christian Robinson is getting his share of new nicknames.

At Georgia’s Ladies’ Clinic earlier this summer, he heard `Bombshell’ and `Barbie.’

Tight end Arthur Lynch is going in a different direction for Robinson’s new blond Mohawk do.

“He’s the `Honey Backer,” Lynch said.

Robinson was in Italy in May for a study abroad program with teammates Ty Frix and Lynch.

The senior said he was having “a lot of fun and decided to do something crazy. I only have a few months left until I’ve got to get a real job so I said `Why not?’”

The new color came from a rugby player who said he would style Robinson’s hair on the cheap.

“I did all blond,” Robinson said.

Now it’s just blonde down the middle.

“I don’t think I would advise it for my child, but that’s what he likes,” Lynch said. “He’s got good feedback.”
