Rolle Call

ATLANTIC CITY (N.J.) -- The nation’s top prospect worked hard to whittle his way down from over fifty scholarship offers to a manageable six teams. Visiting schools, researching information, and talking with fans, Myron Rolle made his decision with all the facts in front of him.

"I decided to go to Florida State University," said Rolle.

And with that, Florida State adds the top player in the Class of 2006, who picked the Seminoles over other finalists Florida, Miami, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Penn State.

"When I went there for a visit I felt comfortable, and I can get my academic goals done," he added.

Rolle, a 6-foot-2, 210 pound safety out of Princeton (N.J.) The Hun School, felt it was the right decision for him and his family.

"Micky Andrews is one of the best defensive back coaches in the country if not the best. I am just glad to be a part of the family."

Rolle plans to enroll this spring while older brother McKinley will enroll next fall as a graduate student in sports management.

“Florida State is recruiting me as a strong-safety and they feel like I have the body type to make an impact there,” he said. “They are low on the depth chart at that position.

“My goal is to graduate college and then play professional football,” he said. “After pro football, I want to enter medical school. I want to attend a medical program of the school that I got my undergraduate from because I would have already been settled in there. One advantage Florida State has is that they are new medical school with cutting-edge technology.”

As a junior, he registered 83 tackles, six sacks and four interceptions sacks.

Rolle reports a 4.0 GPA/1970 SAT (new version)--no retest.
