According to CNN, Rolle will begin his neurosurgery residency program at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital next month.

Rolle played three years for the Florida State Seminoles from 2006 to 2008. He put his college football career on hold in 2009 to study at Oxford after becoming a Rhodes scholar.

Rolle famously went straight from his interview for the Rhodes scholarship to College Park, Maryland, riding a chartered plane in order to play for the Seminoles in their 37-3 victory over the Maryland Terrapins on Nov. 22, 2008.

Upon returning from Oxford in 2010, Rolle made himself eligible for the NFL draft. The Tennessee Titans selected him with the 207th overall pick in the sixth round. His football career would end short as he never appeared in a regular-season game for the Titans and spent a brief time with the Pittsburgh Steelers before the team released him in 2012.

“Toward the end of my career, I started to think about concussions and what the effects of repetitive concussions can do,” he said.

After retiring from football, Myron Rolle vowed to spend his time in the medical field.
“Football has done so much for me, given me friends, family, given me life lessons that now I can use in the operating room or just as a leader,” he said. “I would hate to see it go, and I would love to see it around.”
