MURFREESBORO – Redshirt freshman Roman Gagliano was voted the CUSA Freshman of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday. Gagliano is the first Blue Raider to win the honor since it debuted for CUSA at the start of the 2025 season.
Gagliano received his first collegiate start against WKU following an injury to starter Nicholas Vattiato. The Opelika, Ala., native accounted for 471 yards of total offense to equal the second most in a game in school history. He amassed 383 passing yards to go with 88 yards on the ground.
His 383 yards through the air was the most by a Blue Raider quarterback in his first career start (breaking previous mark of 379 yards by Chase Cunningham in 2021) and the most ever by a freshman at MTSU. He broke the previous freshman record of 381 yards set by Brent Stockstill against LA Tech in 2015.
