Anfernee Roberts, a 2016 Illinois Wesleyan graduate and four-year letterman as a running back playing for the Titans under Norm Eash, is entering his third season with the Titan football staff in 2022. 

Prior to IWU, Roberts coached at Olympia High School (Stanford, Ill.) from 2018-2020. There, he spent two years working as the Assistant Varsity Offensive Coordinator and Head Junior Varsity Offensive Coordinator. Roberts worked with the running backs and defensive backs, as the staff turned around a program that had not won a game in three years.

Upon graduating from IWU, Roberts began coaching for Tri-Valley High School (Downs, Ill.) from 2016-2018. At Tri-Valley, he spent time as a Varsity Assistant for both football and baseball, as well as the JV Offensive Coordinator for football. During his time at Tri-Valley he coached two consecutive years of 2000+ yard rushers, as the team won two Heart of Illinois Conference Championships and compiled a 19-1 record.

A native of Flossmoor, Ill., Roberts earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics. Along with his role on the football staff, he also currently works as Admissions Counselor for the University.
