veteran South Alabama linebacker with ball-hawking instincts and proven production
Roman Buchanan has a real playmaking résumé for South Alabama, with ESPN listing 159 career solo tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and 4 interceptions, which tells you he’s more than just a clean-up tackler[1]. The bigger differentiator is his versatility and experience: he was a four-year starter at both safety and linebacker and finished his South Alabama career as the school’s fourth all-time leading tackler, a sign of high football IQ, range, and trust from coaches[8]. If you want a physical, assignment-sound defender who can also create turnovers, he’s an easy fit.
