Injured Tucker DL Deion Roberson has plenty of big-time offers

Tucker lineman Deion Roberson is 6-foot-3 and 258 pounds, but there’s still some growing to do, says his high school coach.

Once that happens, look out in college.

“Deion is a big athletic defensive lineman who will demand double teams on the next level,” said Tucker coach Franklin Stephens. “When he finishes growing and maturing, he will be an excellent lineman on the next level.”

Where Roberson will end up at the next level has yet to be decided. He said recently that he has official visits set with Louisville (this weekend) and North Carolina State in January. He also said that a visit to West Virginia, originally planned for the first weekend of December, had to be re-scheduled because it’s the same day he is taking the SAT.

There hasn’t been anything else new to report on Roberson’s recruitment, perhaps a product of the ankle injury he suffered in the first game of the season. The severely dislocated left ankle has kept him off the field the entire season.

Stephens said Roberson’s rehab “is on schedule.”

Roberson also has been offered by Memphis, Maryland, East Carolina, Michigan State, Iowa State, Georgia Southern and South Alabama.
