Elandon Roberts

OLB, ILB · Houston
Under-recruited out of high school, Roberts was viewed as a linebacker/safety tweener and committed to FCS-level Morgan State, where he led the team with 107 tackles as a true freshman linebacker. He had the opportunity to transfer up and enrolled at FBS-level Houston, receiving a waiver to play immediately. But he was stuck behind Derrick Matthews on the depth chart with 33 combined tackles as a sophomore and junior. Roberts became a starter as a senior and finished fourth in the nation with 142 tackles, adding 19.0 tackles for loss and an interception, earning an invite to the 2016 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
