Big, versatile Bearcats lineman with rotational value and injury comeback upside
Roetherford projects as a physically imposing interior defender for Cincinnati, listed at 6-foot-3 and around 290-300 pounds, with a strong 88 strength grade in EA’s College Football ratings and 87 impact blocking that points to real trench power[2][10]. In 2024, he appeared in 10 games and finished with 11 tackles, showing he can be a steady rotational piece rather than just a depth body[3][4]. His missed 2025 season because of an Achilles tear adds risk, but also makes his 2026 return a watchable comeback story for teams needing size, toughness, and snap-ready experience inside[11].
