After a successful career at Parkview Baptist in Louisiana, quarterback Roman Mula (6-1, 190) transferred to IMG Academy in Florida for post-grad season to prepare himself for college life.
During his senior season at Parkview Baptist, the dual-threat playmaker threw for 1,057 yards and 14 touchdowns while rushing for 244 yards and five more scores during the six-game schedule. His 2021 campaign has started off strong as he has helped his team to a 2-0 start.
This 6’1”, 190-pound, gunslinger has a strong and accurate arm but does a great job extending the play with his legs. Mula also shows tremendous leadership.
During an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Roman to talk about his transfer and his post-grad season at IMG Academy.
