Former Michigan Wolverines player Craig Roh has died after a secret battle with colon cancer. 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,” Roh’s widow Chelsea shared on X.
“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.”
Roh joined the Wolverines in 2008 after being named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Arizona.
He played for Michigan from 2009 to 2012 making a record 51 consecutive starts.
In 2011, he was named a 2011 All-Big Ten honorable mention and All-Big second-team selection the following year.
“I am saddened to hear about the passing of former defensive end Craig Roh, our program’s all-time leader in career starts,” head coach Sherrone Moore said.
“My heart goes out to his family during this difficult time. The entire Roh family is in my thoughts and prayers and we hope for peace and comfort for all who knew this great Wolverine.”
