Dezmen Roebuck Wins Prestigious Ed Doherty Award!

After being named Arizona's 2024 Gatorade State Player of the Year, Dezmen Roebuck, a Marana High School senior, received Arizona State's top honor, the Ed Doherty Award! Dezmen is the first winner of this award for the Marana Unified School District. 

Roebuck, a wide receiver, set a state record with 352 receptions during his career at Marana High School and finished No. 2 all-time with 4,239 receiving yards and joined a prestigious group that includes Atlanta Falcons star Bijan Robinson to earn the award.

“It means a lot to me coming from a small town that wasn’t really known my freshman year,” Roebuck told All Sports Tucson's Javier Morales. “It’s a big award. Not a lot of people get to be in a position that I am in. I’m just blessed."
