Northwest Mississippi Community College Rangers

It didn't take long for Northwest to burst onto the scene in the early days of MACJC soccer and Tommy Robison was a big reason why.

A native of Fort Walton Beach, Fla., Robison led the team with 24 goals and eight assists as a freshman in 2002, finishing seventh in the NJCAA in scoring. His efforts helped guide former coach Peter Jarjoura to a 12-6-1 overall record in the Rangers' inaugural season of competition. Northwest finished the year 8-2 in the conference but fell in the MACJC Playoffs to Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Robison continued his tear as a sophomore, netting 26 goals and seven assists in 2003, once again helping Northwest to a 10-7-1 overall record. For his career, Robison totaled 50 goals, a program scoring record that continues to stand to this day. He was also twice named an NJCAA All-American while earning two All-MACJC and team Most Valuable Player honors.

After leaving Northwest, Robison competed at the Division II level with the University of Montevallo, garnering a role as the team's starting forward. As a senior in 2004, Robison led the team with 16 goals and three assists while helping the Falcons to the Gulf South Conference tournament championship and to the program's first NCAA Division II National Tournament berth. 

At Montevallo, Robison ranked 23rd nationally in goals per game, 27th in points per game and was a First Team All-GSC and NSCAA/Adidas All-Region team selection.

Today, Robison resides in Fort Walton Beach and has remained active in soccer as a player, coach and mentor. He is a landscape designer and management server for major construction projects. He is the first men's soccer inductee into the Northwest Sports Hall of Fame.
