Childhood
 |
| Jones is the Student Senate Vice-President at Ohio University. |
He also said that when he was little he had braces on his legs because he was bow-legged. He compared himself to Forrest Gump in a joking manner, but said that since then legs were corrected.
He graduated from Cuyahoga Falls High School and decided to attend Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. “I come from a big city, so it was different coming to a more rural area.”
Campus Involvement
At the age of 21, Roger is a senior at Ohio University and is studying sport management.
His favorite thing about Ohio University is the community. Besides the gorgeous campus, “It is almost like when they [the students] come here, they change. They get a sense of community. They are more lively, more interactive. That’s one thing I like about Ohio University,” said Jones.
