Ben Roberts is Texas Tech’s tackling machine with safety-range instincts
In the 2023 season, Ben Roberts exploded onto the scene with 107 tackles and earned Big 12 Co-Defensive Freshman of the Year honors, then backed it up with 90 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and an interception in 2024. At 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, he’s a sure tackler with unusual movement skills for a linebacker — the kind of former safety who can chase sideline to sideline and still hit like a truck. If your team wants a smart, physical, high-motor defender with proven production and room to keep rising, Roberts is absolutely worth the hype.
