Jefferson’s Andy Roberts Andy Roberts 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB/RB Jefferson County | 2028 State WV made it hard to ignore him this past fall, and that’s why he now sits at the top of the 2028 linebacker board. The sophomore didn’t just flash; he produced, and he did it on both sides of the ball. At linebacker, the instincts and range showed up consistently, and as the season wore on, he became a real factor offensively, stringing together several strong outings at running back while also logging snaps at safety. That kind of versatility isn’t common, especially in a young player who’s still growing into his frame. The next step is pretty clear: continue adding size and strength without sacrificing the movement skills that separate him. If the physical development matches the competitive edge and playmaking feel he’s already shown, Roberts won’t just hold that top spot; he’ll widen the gap and head into his junior year as one of the more complete two-way prospects in the class.
