Derrick Roche brought All-Pac-10 pedigree and mauler energy to WSU's interior line
In the 2001 and 2002 seasons, Derrick Roche was a tone-setting Washington State guard: a three-time WSU offensive lineman of the year, a two-time first-team All-Pac-10 selection, and an All-American who started 36 games and helped anchor 20 wins over his final two seasons. He stands out for power, toughness, and consistency more than flash—exactly the kind of interior lineman who makes an offense feel grown-man strong. If you want a dependable, battle-tested fit inside, Roche is the type of trench junkie who raises the floor of your line.
