Last week Florida quarterback Kyle Trask was the Player of the Week after Miami Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King was the previous winner.
Roberson had five catches for 243 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-27 win over No. 25 Memphis. The two touchdowns were 85 yards and 70 yards.
The senior wide receiver’s 243 yards is third in a game in SMU history. This was the seventh game of 200-plus receiving yards in the Mustangs program. Roberson is the only one to do it twice (he had 250 at Arkansas State in 2019).
SMU has an overall record of 4-0 and the Mustangs are 1-0 in the American Athletic Conference.
Roberson is from DeSoto and graduated from Mesquite Horn High School.
The Pony standout joins Trask, King and Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger as weekly winners.
