High School Highlights:
How'd he get to College Park?
I'll let Pete handle that. From last year's profile on him:
Roman Braglio was one of the top defensive linemen in the state of Maryland, and thus attracted the attention of both Randy Edsall and defensive line coach Greg Gattuso, who was the head man in young defensive end's recruitment. Last season, he played in both the Chesapeake Bowl and the Crab Bowl, with three QB knockdowns in the former.
Braglio earned consensus all-state honors and was named first team all-met last year. He played on both sides of the line in high school, was one of the top wrestlers in the state, and also threw shot put. His only other listed offer was from West Virginia, but he also received interest from Penn State, Tennessee and Virginia, among others.
Nickname:
"Emperor Braglio"
Career Highlight:
Committing to Maryland
Dream Season:
Roman is behind Quinton Jefferson, so he'll see some time on the field this season. Dream season would be 3 sacks, maybe an int.
2013 Prospectus:
With Quinton Jefferson and Keith Bowers locking up the starting DE spots, Braglio likely won't be starting, barring an injury. He should definitely see the field, however, after redshirting last season. He was one of the top defensive ends in the state out of high school and has the ability to get to the QB, recording 18 sacks his senior year. He should definitely be able to contribute this season, but just not in a starting role.
