CHARLESTON, S.C. – The 2019 Citadel Hall of Fame will induct five new members at the annual Hall of Fame Banquet on Sept. 20. The banquet will be held at the Charleston Marriott (1700 Lockwood Drive). The reception will begin at 6 p.m. with the program starting at 6:45 p.m.
 
As we approach the event, we will take a closer look at each inductee. Next up is football player Andre Roberts.
 
Andre´ Roberts, Football, Class of 2010
A two-time All-America selection, Andre´ Roberts closed out his Citadel career as the school's all-time leader in receptions (265), receiving yards (3,743) and receiving touchdowns (37). He had a breakout season as a junior, setting the school record with 95 receptions for 1,334 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is the only player to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark, doing so as a sophomore and junior. Roberts' career included 17 100-yard receiving games, including seven during his record-setting sophomore campaign.
 
The accomplishments led Roberts to being selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Washington Redskins, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets before signing with the Buffalo Bills this offseason.
 
In 2018, Roberts became just the second Bulldog to be selected to the NFL Pro Bowl. He began the season with a 78-yard punt return against the Lions and ended the season with a 99-yard kickoff return against the Green Bay Packers. He was also a First-Team All-Pro selection after leading the NFL in return yards.
 
Following the 2017 season, Roberts received the Salute to Service Award presented by USAA. The award was created to acknowledge the exceptional efforts by members of the NFL community to honor and support members of the military community.
