Roberson graduated from El Cerrito High School in Oakland in 1997, and attended both Contra Costa College and Feather River College. After graduating, Roberson played on the Clearwater Threshers, a Phillies farm team, and had twenty-three game hit streak.

Roberson made his major league debut May 12, 2006 against the Cincinnati Reds. According to the Phillies' website, he is single and he played Little League baseball [2]. His father, Will Roberson, played professional basketball for the Detroit Pistons. He is not related to fellow Oakland, California native Dante Roberson.
