Nick Roberts at Ohio State

North Star graduate Nick Roberts' redshirt freshman season is off to a good start at Ohio State. He finished third at the Clarion Open last week, then placed fifth (though with only one loss) at the Michigan State Open on Saturday. Interestingly enough, Roberts' teammate, true freshman Nathan Tomasello, has won both tournaments. Since Tomasello has wrestling unattached in each while Roberts hasn't, I can only assume that means Tomasello will be redshirting this season.
Here's what Ohio State's website had to say about Roberts' performance at Michigan State:
Now 11-2 on the season following his 5-1 outing in East Lansing, Roberts recorded a pair of major decisions and a fall in his Top 5 finish. Roberts opened the day with a 1:11 fall vs. Kristopher McKinley of Indiana Tech. He followed up his opening performance with a 10-0 shutout against Purdue’s Luke Schroeder. In his fifth-place bout, the native of Hooversville, Pa., scored his second major decision, a 9-0 win vs. Nick Harrison of Northern Illinois.
 Roberts was 22-5 in open competitions during his redshirt season and won the Michigan State Open last year.
If he is able to get into the lineup for the No. 10 Buckeyes, we'll be able to watch him a few times on the Big Ten Network this season. Ohio State lists the following as their TV/Internet appearances:

Sunday, Dec. 15 at Penn State – Live on BTN
Friday, Jan. 24 vs. Nebraska – Live on BTDN (BTN.com)
Monday, Feb. 3 at Purdue – Live on BTN
Sunday, Feb. 23 vs. Virginia Tech – Live on BTDN (BTN.com)
