"Rolle will play in the potentially critical Atlantic Division matchup in College Park, Md., and also attend the announcement of this year's Rhodes Scholar recipients in Birmingham, Ala.
Rolle, a starting safety, is a finalist for the prestigious scholarship and will go through interviews that Saturday."
It is very rare that you hear about a college athlete being this smart (other than offensive lineman) and it is very rare that you would hear a college athlete out of FSU being a candidate for a Rhodes Scholar.
Myron Rolle is a breath of fresh air when it comes to student/ athletes, instead of the normal thugs that you hear taking college academics for granted while playing a sport (Ryan Perilloux, Marcus Vick, Michael Beasley), Myron is actually getting something out of it. With Coach Bobby Bowden needing all the good press he can, this will actually take pressure off of his underachieving football team.
