It is not often that we will profile a sophomore in high school, but the interest has been brewing around a certain sophomore within the Nittany Nation. The young player PSU fans are buzzing about is Myron Rolle, a 6'3", 210 lb., 4.43/40 running back/defensive back from Highstown (Peddie), NJ. Already he has received interested from around the nation, with offers from programs like Miami, Maryland, Oklahoma, Stanford, Virginia Tech and Penn State.

A solid student, Myron boasts a 4.0 GPA and an 1120 SAT score and has also served as class president. He is a letterman in football, basketball and track and has emerged as a star at all sprots. Myron has had the opportunity to see Penn State when he visited State College for the Nike Camp in May.
Myron (left, Peddie) was actually named as a Top Ten performer out of the State College Nike Camp and also was selected as the MVP from Miami's Nike Camp. He has really been turing heads with his performances which is translating into offer after offer.

Myron will be playing this fall at The Hun School in Princeton, NJ. He has also been driving two hours to North Jersey to work with a speed coach twice a week.

Myron has a 34 inch vertical leap and benches 185 lbs. upwards of 20 times. The pursuit for his services began, believe it or not, as a freshman, with offers from Oklahoma and Purdue coming his sophomore years. He plays on both sides of the ball at running back and defensive back. As a freshman he led his team with 90 tackles and led the Middle Atlantic Prep League in interceptions on his way to earning second team Prep All-State and All League honors.

As a sophomore this past season Myron gained 1,038 yards and 12 touchdowns at running back and had 103 tackles at defensive back.

He has great field vision and a powerful running style. He is excellent at shedding tacklers and making cutbacks. He is said to be very physical in the secondary and plays an aggressive style of defense against opposing receivers.

Schools seem torn on whether he will end up at running back or defensive back at the collegiate level, but many apparently feel he could play either, or even both. The majority of schools though seem to have him penciled in at safety. Myron would not mind safety, but feels he could also play corner.

Myron also plays guard on his school's basketball team and averaged 13.5 ppg with 9 rebounds per game as a freshman. He has been a consistent starter with a solid perimeter game.

It should be exciting to watch Myron's recruitment as he is anticipated to be one of the most heavily recruited prospects for the Class of 2010 nationally.
