Jorge Roman                  Position: Graduate Assistant

Jorge Roman is in his second full season as graduate assistant for the Tennessee golf program.

Roman serves the team in a wide range of areas, assisting with practice setup, statistical analysis and equipment and clothing needs for both the coaches and student-athletes.

"This is one of the best opportunities I've ever gotten," Roman says. "Just to be here with Coach Kelson, learning about his leadership methods and watching him run an organization has been great. I want to help our team win a national championship, so I take care of all the little things."
