“I visited N.C. State last weekend,” Roberts said. “I
didn’t fly back until 10 o’clock Monday morning. The
trip was okay. The academics are pretty strong. The
athletics facilities were nice.
“Coach Amato offered me a scholarship in his office.
He said that it’s a great opportunity to play. It
snowed a little in Raleigh this weekend. It was cold,
and I must have caught something, because I’ve been
sick since I got back. It was my second time ever
being in the snow. I’m not too sure about that stuff.”
He was supposed to meet today with University of
Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong who was
in Orlando. The Gators are currently focusing on three
Edgewater players: Roberts, Quentin Brown, and Matt Hardrick.
“Coach Strong was at school today (Tuesday), but I’ve
been sick and didn’t go to school,” he confirmed. “I
didn’t speak with him at all. I know that he spoke
with Matt (Hardrick) and Quentin (Brown). I’m leaving
for Gainesville on Friday and will stay the entire
weekend. I’m looking forward to it.”
Roberts also cleared up some confusion about his ACT
test scores.
“I’m close on the ACT,” he said. “It’s just one
section of the test that I have to score four more
points on. I’m getting some help with that. I hope to
take care of it the next time I take the test”
He also made it clear that he would love to play for
the Gators. Tyller Roberts has been looking forward to
this trip since the Eagles completed their season in
Gainesville. For the past two years, Edgewater has
sadly ended their season in the state championship
game on the University of Florida campus. There is no
question that he would like to leave Hogtown on a
happy note.
“Florida is my leader,” Roberts pointed out. “I’ve
been saying that I want to stay in state to play.
Hopefully, the visit will be great. I would say that
N.C. State is number two right now.”
