Here's the story from the Huntsville Item on SHSU tight end Corey Roberts who signed with the Colts this week. Too bad he missed out on signing with the Texans! Congrats to Corey, who recieved both national and conference accolades for his performance throughout his career...

‘It’s a dream come true’

SHSU’s Roberts signs free-agent contract with Indianapolis Colts

He was one of the few bright spots for the Sam Houston State football team last season.

A big, elusive, pass catching tight end who could stretch the field. He was a matchup nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators, much like the Kansas City Chiefs Tony Gonzalez and San Diego Chargers Antonio Gates.

He is a perfect fit of the mold of the next generation of play-making tight ends. And Monday, his biggest dream became a reality.

Corey Roberts is taking his game to the next level after signing an undrafted free-agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts.

“It’s a dream come true,” Roberts said in a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon. “Every since I was a little kid I wanted to play in the NFL. I’m just happy to have the opportunity.”
