Shane Roth is a hard-nosed, versatile linebacker whose value shows up everywhere
In the 2024 season, Shane Roth played in all 12 games for Southern Illinois and posted 29 tackles, 1.0 tackle for loss, 1 interception, and a team-high 6 special teams tackles, which points to a player who earns his snaps through reliability, toughness, and coverage instincts rather than flash. He was described by SIU as someone getting more opportunities at both weakside and middle linebacker, and local coverage noted his first career interception and career-best tackle production, making him a useful fit for a defense that prizes versatility, effort, and special teams impact.[2][5]
