Special-teams catalyst and reliable depth piece in Marshall’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Ishmael Roy appeared in 11 games for Marshall and logged 4 tackles, with the Herd describing him as a key contributor across all special teams phases. That profile matters: he brings versatility, effort, and roster value beyond the box score, making him the kind of dependable DB-coach favorite who helps tilt hidden-yardage battles. ESPN listed him with 6 solo tackles in 2024, reinforcing that he can chip in defensively when called upon. For a team needing experienced, low-drama depth and special-teams toughness, Roy looks like a solid fit.
