Overview
- Roberts becomes the tenth pledge in Texas' 2027 class after choosing the Longhorns over Oregon and Arizona State.
- The pick adds a top-20 running back to the class and positions Texas to pursue another marquee ball carrier.
- Texas seeks backs who can catch and run in Steve Sarkisian's offense, and Roberts has lined up in the backfield and split wide.
- He posted 761 rushing yards and eight touchdowns as a junior with 562 receiving yards and six more scores on 50 catches after a 1,000-yard sophomore season.
- The addition helps restock a room reshaped by transfer departures and short-term pickups, giving a size–speed option measured at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds with a reported 10.95 in the 100 meters.
