Scholarly Seminole: NFL prospect Rolle also has Rhodes aspirations

alen1 · Jul 18, 2008

If all goes to plan off the field, Rolle will be faced with a vexing yet welcome decision: NFL locker room or Oxford University classroom?

Rolle, a preseason All-ACC and All-America candidate, is an astounding anomaly in a sport synonymous with low graduation rates and dumbed-down majors. He's a 3.75 pre-med student who will finish his undergraduate degree in just two-and-a-half years; a National Leadership Honor Society inductee; the recipient of a $4,000 research grant for his work studying human mesenchymal stem cells and the facilitator of a health and living program at a charter school run by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

"Myron's special, there's no doubt about it," said Florida State president T.K. Wetherell. "To listen to him talk about everything from football to organic chemistry, you think you're talking to a faculty member sometimes."

This fall, a Florida State faculty committee is expected to nominate Rolle for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. Only 32 students in the country receive the honor each year, and only two ACC athletes have won them in the past 31 years.

Even though he's a Seminole, I LOVE this guy. Very good player. Hope he takes it to the NFL so we can pick him up .
