Broken Arrow’s Octavian Roberson Octavian Roberson 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Broken Arrow | 2027 State OK has all the tools to be one of the state’s best running backs, regardless of class as we look ahead to this season. You could see flashes of that throughout the last few years but he’s also been banged up at different times. Roberson is definitely near the top of the list for us when it comes to players that we just want to see play with a clean bill of health. There’s a handful of players that have had awful injury luck and Roberson is one of them. But when he’s right, he’s one of the best running backs in Class 6A-1. If he stays healthy this season, he could be a big reason why the Tigers emerge as state title contenders.

Broken Arrow running back Octavian Roberson Octavian Roberson 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Broken Arrow | 2027 State OK is battling some nagging injuries but if you look at what he did in the first half of the regular season, you see a player that has turned the corner and has figured things out. He’s a complete playmaker and can help the Broken Arrow offense in a variety of ways. In fact, when you look at the last few years and into this season, he’s done just that. He can break a big play in the blink of an eye. He can help the passing game as a receiver out of the backfield or stay in and pass protect. He’s also shown the ability to be a workhorse with games where he had 30+ carries. Now he just needs to get healthy and finish strong in the playoffs.

Junior running back Octavian Roberson Octavian Roberson 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Broken Arrow | 2027 State OK was one of the more underrated playmakers in Class 6A-1 last season. We knew that Roberson was going to have the potential of a big season at running back but what we didn’t expect was the overall offensive production he had in 2024. Roberson would lead the Tigers with over 1,000 yards on the ground and nine touchdowns. But he was also a threat out of the backfield in the passing game. He finished with 340 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. As we look ahead to the 2025 season, Roberson is going to give Broken Arrow another versatile weapon on offense. He won’t be the only running back making an impact but he’s definitely a player to watch.

Broken Arrow running back Octavian Roberson Octavian Roberson 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Broken Arrow | 2027 State OK has had a stranglehold on the top spot for this position since the rankings began a year ago. Roberson has been the top guy at this position and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Roberson broke out during his freshman season with the Tigers and then he had a stellar sophomore season for an encore. Broken Arrow has certainly been in the headlines this offseason with a new coaching staff and some really talented players coming back in 2025. Roberson is one of them and we think that he could be a key piece to Broken Arrow returning to the group of contenders in Class 6A-1. The thing that makes him so intriguing as a prospect is his overall playmaking ability. He’s dangerous as a running back but he’s also just as dangerous as a receiver, coming out of the backfield. He was very productive in both categories.

Broken Arrow running back Octavian Roberson Octavian Roberson 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Broken Arrow | 2027 State OK remains the top running back in the state’s 2027 class and he’s building off a solid freshman season with an even better sophomore campaign. We got a chance to watch him work in person a few times this offseason and you can see the tools are there for him to be an explosive prospect. And this fall, Roberson has become arguably the top playmaker in Broken Arrow’s offense. He’s been a workhorse in the run game but he’s also been incredibly productive as a receiver. We’ve been very impressed with how much of a workload Roberson has had and is answering the call.

Because of the combination of a talented offensive line along with a new quarterback, we think the run game is going to be Broken Arrow’s best friend on offense, at least early on in the season. And running back Octavian Roberson Octavian Roberson 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Broken Arrow | 2027 State OK was one of the top freshman standouts at the Class 6A-1 level in 2023. Roberson was part of a three-headed monster in the Broken Arrow running game but those other two pieces have graduated. That has opened the door for Roberson to have a much more significant workload in 2024 and the production should rise in a major way. Roberson is a running back that has a lot of the tools to elevate to a new level this fall.

Broken Arrow running back Octavian Roberson Octavian Roberson 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Broken Arrow | 2027 State OK is once again in the top spot at his position in the state’s 2027 class. After enjoying a breakout freshman season, Roberson will be back for more this fall. When we look at what Roberson does well and what Broken Arrow brings back, we think that his production could absolutely explode. First off, Roberson proved last season that he is a talented running back against top competition. Throw in the fact that the Tigers have an experienced and talented offensive line coming back and Roberson could be primed for a major 2024 season. He was a star back at our camp in January.
