Expert Analysis
Michael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Roberts led Yorba Linda in receiving last season with 611 yards on 40 catches with six touchdowns and earned Bravo League Offensive Player of the Year honors.
He joins a Crean Lutheran receiving corps that has its top guy back but graduated some other top contributors. Roberts is a versatile receiver who can play out wide or in the slot and he is good making plays after the catch on in-breaking routes. He isn’t a burner that creates a lot of separation with his speed, but he is great on 50/50 balls.

Roberts caught 40 passes for 611 yards with six touchdowns and earned Bravo League Offensive Player of the Year honors. Yorba Linda will have a new coaching staff next season but I’m sure Roberts will be a top target in the Mustangs’ offense.

Roberts is a versatile playmaker that can lineup in the backfield or out wide as a receiver. He is a physical ball carrier that looks for contact in space and finishes runs with nasty intentions. He shows a good initial burst through the first level and has good vision in tight windows with cutback abilities and is extremely tough to take down in the open field. Roberts is also a very strong route runner with consistent hands, high point abilities and tracks the ball well over the top/can create separation downfield. He provides tremendous position versatility at the next level and can be used in many ways offensively. The Yorba Linda product was one of the top players in his group at the National Preps Showcase earlier last month and has been flying under the radar up to this point but is a no-brainer college prospect.
