Custom ROM no, since the bootloader is locked you can't flash a custom recovery or modify the boot.img which is required for ROMs.
Root is possible but a bit different for US models devices, you might need to check the US Snapdragon specific subforums as this is mostly Exynos (international)

oh is it possible to unlock the bootloader? i also have the G930U, which model has support for custom ROM, just got it new so I can refund it if needed and swap for a different phone

It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on any US model (e.g. G930V/U/T/A/P). The G930U may be carrier unlocked, but the bootloader is still locked.
If you want ROM support you'll need a G930F/FD (international) or the G930W8 (Canada)
