DeRoche was offered on June 18th, and the relationship has developed ever since. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound hybrid receiver has an 83.5 wingspan and has elite athletic ability.

The transfer from Boyd Anderson recorded seven sacks on defense and scored five touchdowns offensively.

The versatile athlete also plays basketball at a high level, averaging nearly ten points, seven rebounds & 1.5 blocks as a two-year varsity player.

Elite frame to go with high level athleticism that can play either side of the ball in college, whose frame, character, and wanting to stay home made him a must-get in 2027.
