A high-impact, playmaking linebacker with proven ball skills
In his listed Middle Tennessee career profile, Stephen Roberts stood out as a productive, instinctive linebacker who finished a strong 2013 season with 70 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, a sack, and two interceptions, while also forcing three fumbles and recovering two more[3]. ESPN’s stat line also reflects his playmaking profile, with 75 solo tackles, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions on his page[1]. The big selling point: he’s not just a tackler, he’s a momentum-changer who can create turnovers and make impact plays all over the field—exactly the kind of defender coaches love when they want edge, intensity, and takeaways[1][3].
