Malik Roberson made the move to Washington State University with Cougar Head Coach Paul Wulff in 2008 after spending eight years with Wulff at Eastern Washington.
He spent his first two seasons as an Eagle student assistant working with defensive linemen, then six years as the defensive line coach.
Roberson is no stranger to the WSU campus, spending three seasons in Pullman before transferring to Central Washington. He redshirted at WSU as a freshman in 1989, then played for the Cougars during the 1990 and 1991 seasons, seeing action as both a linebacker and defensive lineman. At CWU, he earned first team all-conference honors in 1994 and was co-captain of the 1995 squad that won the NAIA Championships, finishing 10-3-1.
Injuries late in his career impacted Roberson's opportunity to continue his football career. He was oft-injured during his senior year at CWU and then a neck injury ended his professional aspirations at the NFL combine.
Roberson is a 1989 graduated of Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane and spent three seasons coaching the Tigers linebackers, first in 1992 and 1993 between his Cougar and Wildcat careers, then again in the fall of 1999 before joining the EWU staff.
Roberson, who finished his degree work at EWU, was born April 30, 1971, in Spokane, Wash. He and his wife Ondria have one son, Nick (17).
