Shane Roy brings veteran DL grit to Pitt’s front
Shane Roy is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound defensive lineman for Pitt who has built a reputation on durability and assignment-sound play, including a stretch of 26 consecutive starts on the Panthers’ defensive line. In his 2018 season, he totaled 29 tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack assist, a pass breakup, and a fumble recovery, which points to a sturdy, disruptive interior presence rather than flashy sack totals. His appeal is simple: steady, physical, dependable, and the kind of blue-collar trench player coaches trust when they want the line to hold its ground.
