Jeffrey Roberts brings local buzz and big-play upside to Iowa State’s WR room
In the 2025 season, Roberts was a high-impact high school receiver with elite downfield production: 38 catches for 989 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior at Ames, plus 29 receptions for 519 yards and five scores as a sophomore. He’s a 6-foot, 193-pound freshman from Ames and Dowling Catholic who fits as a field-stretching playmaker with return-game value and local-star momentum. The wrinkle: he’s still early in his college career, so the bet is on traits, toughness, and big-play juice rather than proven Iowa State stats.
