From Banfield: “Roy was a high-end high school prospect, originally committing to an ACC school that we couldn’t be more excited about attending Akron. He shows outstanding instincts in the outfield and on the bases and has impressed our staff more than anything with his focus and commitment to being a great player, teammate and student.”
