William Roberts III, son of Rick Ross, commits to Bethune-Cookman

Roberts III played for the 2023 Class 3M state champion St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders

St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) offensive lineman William Roberts III announced his commitment to play for Bethune-Cookman on Saturday evening via X, formerly known as Twitter. 

Roberts III, the son of rapper Rick Ross, was a contributor to the Raiders’ 2023 Class 3M state championship team. The senior offensive guard/center helped pave the way for an offense that totaled nearly 6,000 yards of offense and 76 touchdowns. 

The 6-foot-3, 285-pound senior had offers from schools like Miami (FL), Syracuse, Florida International, Texas A&M, Colorado and Albany State. 

Ross played on the gridiron before stepping out into the music industry, as he played collegiately at Albany State.
