Hope everyone had a great 4th and kept all their fingers. I know edge rushers have been known to struggle with fireworks.

How’d he get to The Blue™?
Roman came from the okay state of Utah as the 4th-best EDGE in the state. He’s gifted on both sides of the ball. As a senior, he recorded 35 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, and 5 TFLs. He also went 2/3 passing, with 2 TDs, and one receiving TD.
Nickname
“Empire”
How often do you think about him?
Look-alike
Will Hunting
If the fictional character, Will Hunting, from “Good Will Hunting” picked up football instead of math, he could be on the DL at Boise State.
Career Highlights
He redshirted last year, so there are no starts to record, but I assume he was good at getting the home crowd to cheer loudly on 3rd downs.
2025 Prospectus
Jayden Virgin-Morgan anchors the EDGE position, but the opposite EDGE rusher is wide open. There will be many opportunities for him to earn his way onto the field and make a name for himself on the DL. If not this year, then in later years.
Is he on Twi/X?
He does have an “X” account, but it’s only lightly used
Completely made up fact
This year, Roman finally took home the family cannonball trophy. He’s come up short against his uncle John the past few years, but this year he crushed the competition with a 9.5.
There are many things that go with Roman. I kind of like Roman numerals. X is a good one for a defensive guy.
