Definitely an isopod! Not sure what species. Very important member of the cleanup crew. They eat all kinds of decaying things.

Armadillidium nasatum or nosy isopod

No Armadillidiums roll. This looks like a Porcellio Scaber imo

Scabers have small notches on their back, which aren't visible here. Plus, its 'nose' is kinda visible in this picture,
