Jaeden Roberts attended North Shore High School in Harris County, Texas and was a three-star offensive lineman. He received offers from Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, Baylor, LSU and Oklahoma State and initially decided to commit to Auburn. However just a few months later, Roberts de-committed and signed with Alabama.
In 2021, Roberts did not see any playing time for the Crimson Tide and took a redshirt. During his redshirt freshman season, Roberts played in three games, including coming off the bench late in the Sugar Bowl to play three snaps. He worked his way into not just the rotation but as the starter in 2023 and played in 11 games with eight straight starts to finish the season.
