Rochell’s college career was spent at Notre Dame and he was drafted in 2017 by the Los Angeles Chargers as a Defensive End. Recently, Rochell took a public stand on the problems with social media and its impact on today’s youth. As such, he began championing the movement #SeeYouOnSunday, which urges social media users to put down their phones on Saturdays and go enjoy life.
Through this partnership with Turtle Beach, facilitated through an extended strategic partnership with Roc Nation and Roc Nation Sports, Ingram and Rochell will step-up their gaming with the highly-acclaimed Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp Pro Performance Gaming Audio System – the Company’s premier competitive gaming audio setup for Xbox One and PlayStation®4.
