Penn State veteran linebacker whose biggest value was toughness and special-teams grit
Romano was never a headline-grabber at Penn State, but his value came from being dependable, physical, and ready when called upon: in the 2022 season, he appeared in three games, recorded a solo tackle, and earned multiple developmental squad honors from the coaching staff. He was a classic depth-and-discipline linebacker who brought special-teams reliability, practice consistency, and a blue-collar edge rather than gaudy stats. If you want a hard-nosed, team-first defender who can stabilize the bottom of a roster and do the dirty work, Romano fits the mold.
