For the past few months, Brian tracked Florida State’s (& The Hun School‘s) Myron Rolle and his application for a Rhodes Scholarship during the heart of the college football season. If you missed his posts, you can read them here & here.

Just this week Myron formally announced his decision to postpone entering the NFL draft in favor of accepting the prestigious scholarship and heading to Oxford for the year to pursue a Masters in Medical Anthropology.

ESPN’s Chris McKendry caught up with him during yesterday’s SportsCenter and they discussed his plans for the next year at Oxford, the NFL and his post-playing career ambition to become a Neurosurgeon with the intent of creating a free health clinic in the Bahamas.

He’s a young man with a clear vision on how he can positively impact communities around the world- to demonstrate such a sharp focus at his (or any) age impresses me to no end.
