Rapper Rick Ross’ Son Might Be Heading to the NFL After Committing to This HBCU

Ross’ son William Roberts III has committed to this Florida-based HBCU after attending a high school famous for producing NFL players.

Rapper Rick Ross’ son, William Roberts III, might be heading to the NFL after committing to playing football at this Florida-based HBCU. And while some might look at this announcement as just another nepo baby making moves, Roberts’ sports resume proves he has the talent to back it up.

According to HBCU Gameday, the interior offensive lineman has committed to taking his talents to Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida.

For those not tapped into high school sports, Roberts played football at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale. The school is a football powerhouse that has produced a plethora of NFL players including NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, and current-day stars such as Giovani Bernard, Nick Bosa, Joey Bosa, Elijah Moore, Asante Samuel Jr. and James White.

In fact, since 2012, no high school in the entire country has produced more NFL players.

So yeah, the NFL could be next in the cards for Rick Ross’ son. And although Roberts has committed to Bethune-Cookman, he reportedly received offers from some of the more notable Division I college football including Miami, Texas A&M, Colorado, Syracuse, Florida International, and many others.

He also reportedly received an offer from Albany State, another HBCU that is located in Southwest Georgia.

When St. Thomas Aquinas head coach Rogert Harriot was asked about Roberts three years ago in 2021, he told 247Sports, “Will’s size, strength, and athleticism have enabled him to play some quality time this season and start a couple of games. He’s an extremely talented player and a well-rounded, character-oriented person. His best days are ahead of him.”

Although Deion Sanders left Jackson State University last season, we love to see notable Black celebrities and their kids taking their talents to HBCUs.
