Rolle Model


Myron Rolle, is Mr. Everything. The #1 Defensive Player in the country in High School. An all ACC Defender, and he has an NFL future down the road. But the question for Myron, is when?

Florida State safety Myron Rolle said he is planning to accept his Rhodes Scholarship and study in Oxford, England, starting next October and bypass his senior year of eligiblity.

Rolle, an aspiring neurosurgeon, was awarded the scholarship last weekend. He is the first Florida State football player to be so honored.

Rolle said he cannot delay the Rhodes Scholarship and is trying to decide if he will participate in the next NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis in February. He is also considering training before and after his studies at Oxford and trying out for the NFL afterward.

"I want to be a neurosurgeon," Rolle said. "And I want to help impoverished nations build up their vaccination programs. I think in many poor countries, vaccination programs and mental health programs are wrongly pushed aside."
