Florida State won a Rhodes Scholarship today, and then, he got a police escort to the game to help his team beat the Maryland Terrapins. His teammates dumped a cooler of ice water over him in the closing moments of FSU’s victory. It was a victory indeed as Rolle won a scholarship and then helped his team win a big game.

Congratulations Myron, and good luck.
