I am going to give this article a go. However I am having two main problems from the outset. 

Notre Dame was an Independent (Template:2002 NCAA Division I-A independents football records). This means that he does not get the notability of similar players who were on 2002 All-Big East Conference football team (Other ND Sports were in the Big East from 1996-2013) and that there is no log of his career highlights in Big East Conference defensive football player of the week format.
He was not a First team 2002 College Football All-America Team selection. I can't find a lot of information on All-American selections, but he was not even a third team 2002 AP All-American.
ESPN stat archives only go back to 2004: https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/stats/_/id/87/season/2004
Even Sports Reference seems to have a limited history. They have 3 Ryan Roberts search results (all younger players):

N.B. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/ryan-roberts-2.html has no content
https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/notre-dame/2002.html does not list him (nor is he shown in his underclass seasons).-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:35, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
NCAA stat archive is limited for his years https://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/playerDetail.jsp?yr=2002&org=513&player=95 (only games played)-— Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyTheTiger (talk • contribs) 12:08, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
