Leaving Room For Improvement
Despite the record-breaking season, Roebuck is setting his goals at an even higher scale heading into his final year.
“Some of my personal goals going into next season are to break the school record that I set this year for receiving yards in one season and to break the state record of total career receiving yards,” Roebuck said.

Even with his dominance on both sides of the ball, the Tigers finished the season at just 5-6, down from the 10-2 record they finished with the previous year.
Roebuck knows what it takes and wants his final high school season to come with winning.
“We have come together, work hard this offseason and attack the weight room,” Roebuck said.
Interest At The Next Level
He has already received interest from schools at the next level and will undoubtedly receive more over the next year.
Some of the current offers he has received include those from Arizona, Arizona State, Northern Arizona, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
