He played college football at Wyoming and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL draft.

Early life and college
Roullier grew up in Burnsville, Minnesota. He was a three-year starter and two-time team captain for Burnsville High School, and was voted first-team all-state offensive lineman as a senior, as well as honorable mention all-state defensive lineman. Roullier was also a three-year letterman in basketball.[1]
A 2-star offensive guard recruit, Roullier committed to Wyoming to play college football over offers from Akron, Northern Iowa, Toledo, and Western Michigan.[2] Roullier redshirted as a freshman in 2012. In the 2013 season, he played both center and guard, appearing in 10 games with 3 starts. As a redshirt sophomore in 2014, Roullier started all 12 games at left guard and was named Honorable Mention All-Mountain West. Roullier again started all 12 games at left guard as a redshirt junior, garnering second-team All-Mountain West honors.[3] He moved from left guard to center for his redshirt senior season, where he was named first-team All-Mountain West, helping lead Wyoming to the conference championship game.[4]
