1. Are you sure the guy isn't just messing with your son. Or someone isn't messing with him? Since you said the school is in the Midwest, I could see someone playing a joke on the "Alabama kid" to see if he'll freak out at this.

2. If it is true and your son is uncomfortable with it, and you can afford it, let him move into a place by himself and tell his roommate that he wants to live alone to be sure he can focus on studies when he's not with the team.

Freshman year is a delicate time. No reason for him to be uncomfortable and get off to a rough start just because people think he should "get over it" and room with a guy that he has no commonalities with. He's uncomfortable? Then move. Why is it anyone else's concern why he was uncomfortable?

All of this.
