<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'> 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.</div> http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...olle/index.html
Wow, that's some really impressive stuff. It all really depends on what he is more passionate about. That's what it will come down to.
NFL. Just look at the college he chose. You don't want to know how pissed off the Hun School administration was when he chose Florida State. Just for comparison's sake, Hun's top two prospects this year are both likely going to Notre Dame (one might go to UVA, which is just as good). He literally could have chosen to attend any school in the country: Duke, Northwestern, etc if he cared solely about academics. Or a school like Michigan or Notre Dame if he cared about academics and football. But he chose Florida State, which isn't shabby, but certainly not the school you'd expect a guy like Rolle to attend. He'll go to the NFL based upon his last choice.
