Craig Roh, a linebacker and defensive lineman at Michigan from 2009-12, died Monday of colon cancer, his wife announced on social media Wednesday. He was 33.
“I wanted to let all of his followers know that after an 18-month battle with Stage IV colon cancer, God brought Craig home on Monday, February 26,” his wife, Chelsea, wrote. “Craig was not very public with his battle, as he truly just wanted to focus on bringing the best content and building the best products he could. He laid out a timeline for his business so stay tuned.”
In four years with the Wolverines, Roh registered 10 1/2 sacks and 26 1/2 tackles for loss. He helped Michigan reach the Sugar Bowl in 2011 and garnered All-Big Ten acclaim in 2012. Roh also holds the school record with 51 consecutive starts.
