Destiny Robinson, a 6-foot forward from Queens, New York, has committed to Syracuse and will join Madison Howard as one of two freshmen on the Orange roster next season, according to an April 27 announcement.
Robinson’s addition is seen as significant for the team as it continues its pursuit of success both academically and athletically. Head Coach Felisha Legette-Jack said, “We are pleased to announce that Destiny Robinson will join our Orange family. She is a true winner! The player that you find under the rock in broad daylight, a state championship winner, played against the best players in our great state and won. She’s gonna bring that pedigree to Syracuse. Please help me welcome Destiny to our family as we continue with our quest to pursue championships in the classroom and on the court with character.”
Robinson comes from St. Mary’s College Prep in Manhasset, where she helped her team compete in the NSCHSAA after previously playing at Archbishop Molloy in Briarwood. During her high school career, she was named First Team NSCHSAA three times between 2023 and 2026 and earned NSCHSAA Player of the Year honors twice. She also received Newsday All-Long Island recognition twice and collected eight MVP awards while serving as team captain her senior year.
In her final high school season, Robinson recorded 450 points, 391 rebounds, 148 assists and 162 steals while leading St. Mary’s to a 22-3 record and securing the CHSAA New York State Division I Championship. Over her entire high school career she accumulated totals including 1,430 points and more than 2,000 rebounds (split between offensive and defensive boards), along with nearly 300 blocks.
Robinson also played AAU basketball for Castle Athletics for three years where she contributed to winning the Pro 16 PUMA National Championship in 2025.
