“Will’s size, strength, and athleticism have enabled him to play some quality time this season and start a couple of games,” Roger Harriott, head coach at St. Thomas Aquinas Roger, told 247Sports in 2021. “He’s an extremely talented player and a well-rounded, character-oriented person. His best days are ahead of him.”
Roberts III received offers from institutions such as the University of Miami, Syracuse, Florida International, Texas A&M, Colorado and Albany State.
