Formers Marjory Stoneman Douglas football players Ocean and Roman Parodie each had terrific seasons playing college football.

After spending three seasons on the varsity football team, Ocean completed his third year at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania.

The Parkland native played 15 games with the Eagles under former coach Willis May and had 15 tackles, including five sacks during his senior season.

In college, Ocean played three games during both his freshman and junior year. During the team’s first game of the season, he recorded three tackles, including a sack for a loss of 12 yards. His team finished the year 3-7 with wins over Himan and Oberlin in Ohio.

Roman, who is a year younger than Ocean, played in 11 games with the Eagles before transferring to Cardinal Gibbons for his final year in high school.
