Bethel-Roman also made official visits to Oregon and Texas Tech before ultimately deciding on Arkansas.
He is the son of Mark Roman, who played for LSU from 1996-2000 and was all-SEC for the Tigers.
Rivals.com has him in their top 250, while On3 Sports rates him as the No. 12 receiver in the country and No. 83 overall player in the 2024 class.
Bethel-Roman caught 37 passes for 892 yards and 8 touchdowns during the 2022 season.
He joins Courtney Crutchfield of Pine Bluff and Bentonville’s CJ Brown as receiver signees in the 2024 class.
