Report: Roberson was named second team Class 4A All-state last year by TheOldCoach.com as a junior. I can't find any stats from his junior year, but as a sophomore he totaled 105 tackles, 31 TFL, 9 sacks, and an interception. Roberson was one of the first '14 commits for the Longhorns as he committed back in August of last year.
Roberson is an athletic freak. He's about 6'4/225, runs around a 4.8 40-yard dash, and is a decent basketball player too. He shows his athleticism on film and often abuses offensive tackles/quarterbacks. He's at his best when he uses his great explosion and quickness to go right around the tackle without much contact. Once past the lineman, he shows that he can deflect balls, change the direction of the play, or put a big hit on the QB. Right now, Roberson depends mainly on his athleticism and lacks technique. His upside though his through the roof and if Texas can coach him up and make him stronger, Roberson has the potential to be an all-Big 12 performer and a real game changer for the Longhorns.
