Veteran SFA linebacker with a special-teams edge
Roman Mitchell has long been a depth-and-discipline guy for Stephen F. Austin, with the program noting in 2014 that he was being worked into a bigger role after contributing on special teams and recording four tackles across eight games in the 2013 season. His appeal is less about splashy stat lines and more about reliability, experience, and willingness to do the dirty work — the kind of linebacker coaches trust in a tough, physical system. If you want a steady, blue-collar fit who can add value in coverage, pursuit, and special teams, he’s that guy.
