Growing up just 14 miles outside of Norman, Oklahoma, Nate Roberts was expected to suit up for Oklahoma once he became a prominent football prospect in the 2025 class. But the cycle's 10th-best tight end (No. 202 overall) had other plans.

While Oklahoma fans like to say “Boomer Sooner,” Roberts chose to create a #BOOM by committing to Ohio State instead, believing Columbus was the best place for him to develop as both a player on the field and as a person off the field.
