Roy Roundtree

In that same year, Trotwood won their first playoff game since 1981, led by Roundtree's 13 receptions, 203 yards, and game-winning touchdown.

Roundtree feels that his best game in high school was a 12-reception, 221-yard, 2-touchdown performance that helped his team overcome a 21–0 deficit.

Roundtree had scholarship offers from Eastern Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska and Miami.

He was considered a Purdue commit until getting a late scholarship offer from Michigan, which was his preferred school.

On signing day, his uncle convinced him to go to Michigan because of its winning tradition.

The late switch led Purdue head coach Joe Tiller to cast aspersions on Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez, referring to him as a snake oil salesman.

Roy Randolph Roundtree (born March 7, 1989) is a former American football wide receiver and current assistant coach for McNeese Cowboys football.

As a freshman, he earned Dayton Daily News Athlete of the Week honors, but in 2004–05, Belmont was classified as an "academic emergency" by the state of Ohio because over a 25% of the students were considered to be "students with disabilities", and the school's standardized test scores were over 50 percent lower than the state benchmarks.

With the dismal academic situation and a mediocre athletic program, Belmont left Roundtree dissatisfied, and he transferred to Trotwood before his junior year, where coach Douglass had earned a reputation for developing college ready football players, and where former Flames teammate Domonick Britt was playing quarterback.

At Trotwood, he was a teammate of Shaw and Brandon Moore who would later join him at Michigan.

As a junior in 2006, he posted 48 receptions for 851 yards, and as a senior, he totalled 868 on 52 catches.

His four-year totals were 165 receptions for 2,637 yards and 28 touchdowns.

As a senior, he was selected to the Division II first-team all-state squad, and named Ohio's offensive player of the year.

He was also chosen to play in the Big 33 Football Classic, and ranked as the number 44, 89, and 104 wide receiver in the nation by Rivals.com, Scout.com, and ESPN, respectively.

While in high school, he was named the 2007 Ohio Division II Offensive Player of the Year.

Roundtree started playing football on the Pee-Wee Dayton Flames in first grade.

He played on the team until junior high, joined by his Michigan teammate Michael Shaw, who, because he was eight months older than Roundtree, played in a different level.

Roundtree was a two-year starter at Belmont High School in Dayton, Ohio before he transferred to Trotwood-Madison High School, where the team's head football coach was retired National Football League player Maurice Douglass.

Roundtree redshirted for the 2008 season.

Roundtree was the team's leading receiver in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

He made his college debut on September 5, 2009 against the Western Michigan Broncos at Michigan Stadium as a slot receiver.

That year, he roomed with Trotwood teammates Shaw and Moore.

He had just two receptions in the first eight games of the season while playing as a backup.

He became a starter for the team's final four games, and finished as the leading receiver for the 2009 Michigan Wolverines football team in terms of both yards and receptions per game, despite the limited playing time.

One of the two early-season receptions occurred on October 3 against Michigan State in the Paul Bunyan Trophy game when he caught the game-tying touchdown with two seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime.

He made his first start on October 31 against the Illinois Fighting Illini as a slot receiver.

On November 7, against Purdue he had ten receptions for 126 yards.

He also had nine receptions for 116 yards in the November 21, 2009 game against the rival Ohio State Buckeyes.

Following the season, he was named a CollegeFootballNews.com Freshman All-America honorable mention, and a Sporting News Freshman All-Big Ten selection.

He was a Fred Biletnikoff Award preseason watchlist honoree in 2010, and set Michigan's single-game receiving record with nine catches for 246 yards against Illinois that November.

He finished first in the Big Ten Conference in receiving yards in 2010 for Conference games, and was a second team All Conference selection.

Roundtree made the 2010 preseason watchlist for the Biletnikoff Award, which honors the nation's top wide receiver.

He led Michigan's 2010 team in both receptions, and receiving yards.

In the September 11 game versus the rival Notre Dame Fighting Irish, his 15-yard reception late in the fourth quarter put the ball on the Notre Dame 2-yard-line.

On the next play, Denard Robinson ran in for the game-winning touchdown with 27 seconds remaining.

He posted back-to-back 100-yard receiving games on September 25, and October 2, 2010, recording nine receptions for 119 yards in a home game against the Bowling Green Falcons, and five receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown versus the Indiana Hoosiers.

At the midpoint of Michigan's 12-game regular season schedule, he ranked fifth in the Big Ten in receptions per game, and seventh in receiving yards.

He was a 2011 Fred Biletnikoff Award preseason watchlist honoree.

In 2012, he was an All-Big Ten honorable mention selection.

He was a 2013 preseason member of the Cincinnati Bengals and played college football for the Michigan Wolverines football team where he spent his redshirt senior season with the 2012 team.
