Freshman Marist OL with NFL-size mass and active roster upside
DeRoner enters Marist as an active 2025 freshman offensive lineman at 6'2", 303 pounds, giving the Red Foxes a young interior-body type with immediate size and developmental upside. The biggest reason to care is his frame: that kind of thickness can be hard to find, and it can translate well in run-game leverage and pass-protection anchor if his technique catches up. Because public stat production is limited for an OL, the key evaluation is projection—he looks like a strong fit for a staff willing to coach up a physical, early-career lineman rather than a finished product.[1]
