COMMITMENT PROFILE FILM EVALUATION Strengths: The natural talent of 6-4, 283 pounds is a great place to start with Roseboro. He has nice lateral quickness as well as chase-down speed to go along with his frame. He shows a good knack for ball angles, which cannot be overes- timated. Roseboro uses his hands well to shed blocks and has a great wingspan to wrap up ball carriers. He also shows a nice rip move as well as a quick swim to dismiss blocks. Areas of Improvement: Roseboro will be challenged when he arrives on campus next year. He won't see a whole lot of the high school whiff blocks and missed assignments that allow him to make so many of his highlight clips. He will have to play lower and more aggressively to match the size and strength of Big Ten offensive linemen. The great news is that he will also be stronger and smarter by then as well. He will still have to adjust to a much greater level of competition than he's used to. Michigan Player Comparison: Josh Williams developed into a very effec- tive defensive lineman for Michigan between 1995-99, and was drafted in the fourth round by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2000 NFL Draft. Roseboro has more natural size, but their skill sets are similar. — Analysis by former U-M offensive lineman Doug Skene high 97 yards and two touchdowns in a win over South Point. Michigan is getting an impressive athlete to play on the defensive line, something that has been missing from the Wolverine front in recent years. — Brandon Brown
