The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Roberts visited Austin multiple times since the calendar turned to 2026, including this month for spring practice.
“They used backs like Bijan Robinson, who is from Arizona, they like Arizona guys, and they aren’t scared to go out of the state to get the best talent,” Roberts told Inside Texas. “That’s one thing I really like about them. They’ve come to Arizona many times. I really like the developmental part of them. They can transfer my game from high school to the college game.”
One thing that stood out to Roberts was Steve Sarkisian’s offense and how it uses players at the running back position.
