Ohio State’s rising TE1 with real all-around juice
In 2026, Nate Roberts looks like Ohio State’s clear top tight end and a player the staff trusts in every alignment—inline, in the slot, out wide, and even in the backfield. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound sophomore has already shown versatility, posting 1 catch for 11 yards in the opener and drawing praise for being “very comfortable” as both a run blocker and pass-catcher. What makes him interesting isn’t just the size-speed fit; it’s the completeness projection: he can help as a seam threat, an edge-setter, and a matchup piece if you want a TE who can do a little of everything.
