Roddrick Roberts is a rising Tarleton State linebacker with early-playmaking instincts
In the 2026 season, Roddrick Roberts has already logged 6 total tackles through Tarleton State’s first two games, showing early run-and-hit reliability for a sophomore linebacker[1][2]. His calling card is straightforward: he was a three-time all-district outside linebacker in high school, posted 139 career tackles, and added 5.5 sacks and 4 forced fumbles, which hints at a physical, disruptive style rather than a stats-padding one[9]. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, he looks like a developmental defender with upside if he keeps adding strength and consistency, especially for a program that values active, downhill tacklers[1][7].
