Rankings Rundown for Nate Roberts

247Sports: No. 166 Nationally, No. 11 TE, No. 5 in OK

Rivals: No.  151 nationally, No. 5 TE, No. 2 in OK

On3: No. 139 nationally, No. 7 TE, No. 3 in OK

Roberts plans to visit each of his finalists before making his commitment. He'll take an official visit to Oregon on June 14, according to Tom Loy of 247Sports.

The Ducks get the fourth of his five scheduled official visits, which is a great spot to be in for Oregon tight ends coach Drew Mehringer. Ohio State and Oklahoma are the other two schools that are worth noting, as the Buckeyes are the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite, receiving picks from Loy as well as Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong.

The Buckeyes have the No. 4 class (according to 247Sports), while head coach Brent Venables and the Sooners will do what they can to keep the top Oklahoma players in state. 

As a junior in 2023 Roberts caught 38 passes for 816 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns. He was most recently in Eugene at the start of February to see the Ducks on a visit. 

He's one of three tight ends Oregon is actively recruiting in 2025 along with Linkon Cure (Goodland, KS) and Da'Sahn Brame (Derby, KS).

Oregon's 2025 class

• 4* WR Dallas Wilson (Tampa, FL)
• 4* WR Adrian Wilson (Pflugerville, TX)
• 4* QB Akili Smith Jr. (San Diego, CA)
• 3* EDGE Matthew Johnson (Concord, Calif.)
