LETS GET TO KNOW ROMAN
Why do you play football?
Well my mom and my uncle first got me into football ever since I was little. But I kept playing because of the competition that it brings. I love anything that has any sort of competition.
It’s gamely! What are you looking forward to most?
I’m looking forward to this season and everyone being able to see how hard our team worked this offseason.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Definitely TJ Watt, he’s the best edge rusher in the NFL and when he’s playing his best he is unstoppable.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
Way back in the day when I was like 9 or 10 I scored my first touchdown. That was definitely a play i’ll never forget.
What was last years season like for you?
I definitely enjoyed the season but we ultimately fell short of our goal of a championship.
What are your goals for the coming season?
Definitely to win a championship.
Personal goals?
I want to become more of a leader on the team and play a bigger role on the defensive line.
What stadium (HS, College or Pro) would you love to visit for a game?
Definitely the Rose Bowl Stadium. It doesn’t matter who’s playing, seeing a game there would be amazing.
Who is your favorite pro team? (any sports)
Definitely the Steelers. I’ve always been a Steelers fan. Just after I was born my mom bought me a Ben Roethisberger jersey.
What game (yours, college, pro) was your favorite game you watched and why?
Either The 2021 ACC Championship when Pitt beat Wake Forest, or The 2024 National Championship when Michigan beat Washington. They were both great games which made them so entertaining.
What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Probably The Longest Yard because it’s definitely one of my favorite movies i’ve watched. I think Adam Sandler is one of the best actors of all time.
If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what do they usually yell?
Being on the field you can’t really hear much anyone is saying, but my mom is definitely yelling something along the lines of “push him”
Name one thing you’d love to of in football that may never happen?
I wish I could score a touchdown. If Coach Lehmeier designs a play for me to get the ball, there is no doubt i’m getting in the end zone.
Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like and WHY?
Definitely my mom. She pushes me to be the best I can be.
Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t?
Lacrosse. I first saw a game my freshman year and I never knew how violent and how it’s like football in some ways. Definitely a sport I wish i played growing up.
What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
Probably any play where i’ve jumped offsides. Definitely not a good moment for me at all.
When you aren’t playing, practicing, or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
I love to watch movies. After a hard day at practice or after a workout nothings better than calming down and watching a movie.
What is your favorite football memory to date?
My favorite memory is probably last season when we beat Wexford at there home stadium. The atmosphere and all the people there were insane. Definitely something i’ll never forget.
What is your favorite play to run?
My favorite play to run is definitely Badger. Anytime a get to double team someone with Sam Brackney it’s gonna be a great play.
What scares you the most?
I’m definitely scared of heights the most.
Music of choice?
Definitely rap music but to be specific probably Ian’s new album Valedictorian.
What was your favorite gift? Why?
My favorite gift was when my grandfather bought me and my cousins an xbox to play at his house. All we did that winter was play NBA 2k16, definitely the most used gift.
What restaurant is your go to when you need a big meal?
I’d have to say Texas Roadhouse. Starting off with some of there rolls then getting a big steak is definitely a big meal.
What is your favorite vacation destination?
Hilton Head Island. My family and I go every year and we have lots of fun there.
Do you remember what the first football game you saw LIVE was?
I know my mom used to bring me to lots when I was but the first one I remember was Steelers vs Dolphins but I can’t remember what year.
