Returning to Faulkner’s campus for the 2024 Marketplace Faith Friday Forums, Roberson was honored as the Distinguished Alumnus for the department of kinesiology and exercise science.
As a student attending Faulkner, Roberson was influenced by his professors and the leaders of the university at the time, he said.
“To this day I am grateful for the leadership and example set by my professors and coaches that I had at Faulkner University. Their passion, work ethic, love, encouragement, and example that they led with has definitely influenced me to hopefully lead my students and players in the same way,” Roberson said.
