Black Stripe Alert! Safety Leroy Roker becomes a part of the ‘brotherhood’

Newest member of BIA #GoBucks

Black stripe alert! Safety Leroy Roker has shed his black stripe and become the newest member of BIA.

Roker comes to Ohio State from Fort Myers, Florida as a three-star prospect according to 247Sports. But don’t let the stars fool you. Everything we’re hearing is that Roker is a ball-hawking safety with a nose for big plays. Ohio State general manager Mark Pantoni recently compared Roker to All-American Malik Hooker. That’s pretty high praise coming from a guy who’s witnessed some great players over the years.

As a matter of fact, it’s been rumored that Roker is making such an impact that he is competing for a rotational spot behind Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom.

Roker becomes the first player to lose his black stripe of the group who enrolled in June. There are now a total of seven who have been officially welcomed to the Brotherhood this fall.
