Roman Hernandez brings rare size, local roots, and a developmental upside for UTRGV up front
Roman Hernandez is a 6-foot-7, 320-pound redshirt freshman offensive lineman for UTRGV who already saw action in three games in 2025, after earning Southland Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll recognition in 2024. In high school, he was known as a steady pass protector who allowed just one sack in his varsity career and earned all-district and academic honors, which screams disciplined, coachable, and low-drama trench work. He’s a big-bodied, local Texas lineman with a strong frame and room to keep developing, making him a smart fit for a program looking for long-term upside up front.
