Through his winding basketball journey, Roman Penn has brought a wealth of experience to the Drake Bulldogs despite his relative newness.
Penn played his high school basketball at Bishop Noll in Indiana. Following graduation, he attended Don Bosco Prep in Crown Point, Ind., for half of a season before enrolling at Siena College in New York.
Penn posted impressive numbers at Siena – 9.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game – but the Saints struggled and posted a final record of 8-24. Following a coaching change at Siena, Penn decided to pursue the remainder of his college basketball career elsewhere.
