Height: 6’3”
Weight: 225 lbs.
Class: Redshirt Freshman

2021 stats: Did not play
2022 projections: Outside of the starters, this is a very young linebackers group. It’s anybody’s guess who would be the first to step up, but until there’s a reason otherwise, Roon should be limited to special teams and late-game appearances in blowouts.
How’d he get here?: Roon chose the Syracuse Orange over Arizona State, Buffalo, Illinois State, Ohio, and elsewhere.
What’d recruiting sites say?: 3 stars across the board
Money Quote: Roon was adamant on why he choose Dino Babers’s squad over his other offers.
