Tucker Roth brings SEC-style size and old-school tackle volume to EKU’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Tucker Roth entered Eastern Kentucky as a 6-foot-4, 225-pound freshman linebacker with a big-frame, downhill profile and a reputation for production from high school, where he piled up 144-plus tackles and 9 sacks in his senior year. He chose EKU over Army, Air Force, and Marshall, which hints at a player coaches trust for discipline and upside. He looks like a fit if your team wants length, physicality, and developmental ceiling at LB; the caveat is that there’s no meaningful college stat line yet, so he’s more projection than proven commodity right now.
