Justin Roper
Roper is not a stranger to FCS Football. He spent his final two years as a player at the University of Montana where he played for the Grizzlies in their run to the 2009 FCS title game.
Before his time at Montana, he played for Oregon and still holds the record for passing touchdowns in the Sun Bowl where he threw four touchdowns to lead the Ducks to the win in 2007.
His coaching resume started from the ground up. He began his career at the University of Findlay (Ohio) where he was the running backs coach as a graduate assistant for the 2013 season before being hired at DII power Valdosta State for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
He moved to Slippery Rock before the 2016 season. At Slippery Rock, he acted as the offensive coordinator for the last three seasons and saw SRU go a combined 26-10 in his three seasons, including an 11-3 record and a trip to the quarterfinals of the NCAA DII Championship in 2018.
