Berkeley Prep's Roehn verbally commits to USF

Berkeley Prep boys soccer standout T.J. Roehn has verbally committed to the University of South Florida.

Roehn scored 26 goals and added 21 assists last season for the Buccaneers, who reached the Class 3A state championship game. He also was considering Villanova and Pittsburgh, but decided staying in Tampa was the right choice for him after making a recent visit to USF.

"USF has always been really good, and I wanted to play for a team that has good facilities and has had a good history," said Roehn, who joins Clearwater Chargers teammate and Palm Harbor University standout Ben Sweat as a Bulls commitment.

Roehn said the Bulls have shown interest in him from the first day coaches were allowed to contact recruits, and he has appreciated the advice given to him by USF coach George Kiefer.

"He's always been very honest with me," Roehn said. "USF was one of the first teams to call me on the first day they could call their recruits. They've always been very interested, and I've only heard good things about them."
