Southern Utah’s rugged, versatile line anchor
In the 2007 season, Matt Roan was a three-year starter at Southern Utah and earned second-team All-Great West Football Conference honors, while also drawing academic recognition with a 3.79 GPA in political science. He stood out for versatility, having moved from tight end to offensive tackle and then to center, plus the kind of durability and football IQ coaches love in an interior OL. The takeaway: smart, adaptable, and dependable—exactly the sort of trench tone-setter that makes a line better around him.
