Early years
Chuck was born and raised in Round Rock, Texas, just outside of Austin. His parents, Price and Martha, are investment bankers, and he is named after the investment firm Charles Schwab.
He grew up playing soccer at the Round Rock Multi-Sport complex, the American home of FC Barcelona. He discovered a love for BBQ in middle school and became too fat to play anything except goalie. He converted to football when he took a weightlifting class his freshman year of high school for an easy A. The gym teacher was also the football coach, and convinced him to play OL because "Girls think football is hotter" which was all the convincing young Chuck needed. He also was a member of the track and field team at Stony Point, where he was the "throwing heavy things" expert, as he competed in hammer throw, discus, and javelin.
As he grew older, he began to dislike living in the state of Texas. In an interview with his high school's newspaper, he was quoted saying "Everything's bigger in Texas? More like, every ego's bigger in Texas." Despite receiving some interest from Texas, A&M, Baylor, and TCU, he wanted to go to college in a place as Un-Texas-y as possible. He settled on Dartmouth because he liked their colors and thought going to a University in the Ivy League would be far enough away from Texas.
College career
Chuck's freshman year was uneventful. His biggest contribution was as a special teamer, where he stepped in as the Long Snapper after the original starter broke his hand trying to dunk in beer pong. He was a rotation option along the offensive line, picking up a handful of snaps in every position along it, and even being brought in as a blocking TE on goal line plays. After his freshman year he went through a growth spurt, bringing him up to his current height of 6' 4".
Sophomore year was much more promising for the Texas-hating Texan. His growth spurt, combined with a year of D1 strength training made him a much more imposing figure on the line, and earned him a starting spot at LG for the season. He also continued his long snapping duties because "It's so fan, man" and was voted a special teams captain.
Junior year Chuck was voted team captain and shifted to LT. Allowing only two sacks all season (and he swears one wasn't his fault), he cemented himself as one of the best OLs in the FCS. He played well enough to earn a first team All-Conference nod, and started to garner some attention from scouts across the DSFL, who were impressed by his size and technical ability along the line.
Chuck stayed for his senior year to finish his Bachelors Degree in business; Once again voted a team captain, Chuck continued playing at a high level for the Big Green, leading them to a 9-1 record and a share of the Ivy League championship. He was voted First-Team All-American in the FCS and was once again First-Team All-Ivy after only allowing a single sack and committing three penalties. After 4 successful years in New Hampshire, Chuck declared for the DSFL Draft.

Season Summary
Chuck Roth fell to the first pick of the fifth round, 41st overall, in the S24 DSFL draft. He was picked by the Portland Pythons, with GM qWest calling him one of the biggest steals of the draft. He immediately bolstered the previously struggling offensive line into one of the best in the league, especially in pass blocking. During the season, Roth grew from a quiet and timid locker room presence to a vital member of the war room and a vocal leader of the team. Roth had a strong season on the field, as well. He tallied a career high nine pancakes in a tough week 14 overtime loss to the Dallas Birddogs. He also had seven pancakes in the Python's 38-3 beatdown of Dallas in week 7. Roth finished his inaugural professional season with an incredible 59 pancakes and allowing only two sacks in 14 games. 59 pancakes was good for second in the DSFL, only behind Clay Stalworth's record breaking 71 pancakes. Roth's blocking was a huge contribution to Sam Howitzer's MVP season with the quarterback calling Roth his "bodyguard" on the field. Portland finished the season a disappointing 6-8 on the year, but qualified for the playoffs over the Kansas City Coyotes by way of the third tie-breaker, points for. They were thoroughly beaten by the London Royals 22-3 in the conference championship game. The Royals would go on to win the Ultimini. The Pythons had a magnificent season, despite their record, and hope to build on it in S25.
