Ventura County Star - Roberson named to All-State team

It's fitting that the No. 1 player from the state's top-ranked football program found a place on the All-State team.

Dwight Roberson, the leading tackler on St. Bonaventure High's back-to-back CIF-Southern Section Division IV championship teams, was named to the All-State football first-team defense by CalHiSports.com.

Roberson was a three-year letterman for St. Bonaventure, playing a different position each season.

As a sophomore, Roberson was a defensive tackle. He moved to middle linebacker and outside linebacker for his junior and senior years, respectively.

The 6-foot, 215-pound Roberson had 174 tackles and two interceptions in 2004 and earned recognition to the All-State junior class team. Last fall, he had 120 tackles, three interceptions, four sacks and one blocked punt.

"He dominated our opponents," said St. Bonaventure coach Jon Mack. "He had the ability to change the outcome of games.

"Dwight was one of the premier players on the field whatever position that he played."

In four playoff games last fall, Roberson had 54 tackles, including 20 against Oxnard and 14 in the Division IV championship game against Moorpark.

Outside linebacker led the defense that delivered consecutive Division III titles for the top-ranked Seraphs, who were selected No. 1 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports. He had 120 tackles, four sacks, three interceptions, one fumble recovery and he blocked one punt.

Also, it looks like 3 of the 4 Kahuku players to commit to OSU may be more of a "soft" verbal as they are going to take trips to at least another school. Looks like the Beavers coaches will have to keep working.

Three other Kahuku seniors visited Oregon State with quarterback Kaulin Krebs, Kahuku coach Siuaki Livai said.

Krebs committed to the Beavers last weekend, and linebacker prospects Devin Unga (6-1, 201) and Kevin Unga (6-1, 222) and safety Suaesi Tuimaunei (6-2, 185) intend to continue with visits to other schools.

"I'd say they were impressed with Oregon State, but I'm not sure if they've decided to go there yet," Krebs said.

This weekend, the Unga twins will visit Utah, their home state. Tuimaunei will visit San Jose State. All three are All-State first-team selections.
