Green Beret overcomes odds to wrestle for ASU as 34 year old walk-on

Story by Alun Thomas

PHOENIX – On first impressions, the story seems like pure fantasy – a Hollywood script. A former Green Beret walks on to the Arizona State University wrestling team at the age of 34, after enduring years of events that may have defeated lesser men. From teenage drug addiction, enduring multiple explosions in combat and being electrocuted, Roman Rozell rose above it, to achieve something he never thought possible. But he did – and lived to tell the story. Rozell, a retired sergeant first class, was born in Apache Junction, Ariz., in 1984 and said his early upbringing was less than ideal and negatively affected him. “I came from nothing … my parents divorced early on. My mother moved us all over the place,” Rozell said. “Sometimes I’d attend three schools a year.” Rest of the details at https://www.dvidshub.net/news/310606/green-beret-overcomes-odds-wrestle-asu-34-year-old-walk?mc_cid=ed5731f3e6&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
