Liam Rooney brings size, disruption, and upside to Bucknell’s defensive front
Rooney is a 6-4, 255-pound sophomore defensive lineman at Bucknell who saw action in two games as a freshman in the 2025 season[1]. His high-school profile screams disruption: 60 tackles, 8 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, 50 hurries, plus team defensive MVP and captain credentials, which points to an energetic, high-motor edge inside[1]. He looks like a developmental fit for a team that wants length, toughness, and future pass-rush upside rather than instant stat-sheet fireworks[1][2].
