Class of 2021 recruit Antwan Roberts fits Badgers running back mold

Antwan Roberts celebrates a touchdown last season. Roberts is a three-star running back recruit committed to the University of Wisconsin.

Antwan Roberts, a running back for Pope John Paul II High School, goes through reads like a quarterback.

On plays he’s handed the ball, he first checks on his pulling linemen or tight end, then shifts his eyes toward the front side of the play. He checks the outside, then assesses if there’s a cutback lane. It only takes a second or two, but Roberts’ eyes let him know when to aim when he puts a foot in the ground and takes off.
