Immokalee's Rolle, Henry ready to make debuts for Ohio State, Wisconsin on Saturday
By Scott Hotard

Friday, August 31, 2007

A year later, the images remain clear.

You can still see Brian Rolle punishing defenders. You can still see him embracing his coach. You can still see him signing to play for Ohio State, reaching for the white cap that day in the Immokalee auditorium instead of donning the Wisconsin one.

Both of them have earned the right to play immediately at their new schools. Both of them are showing the folks in the Midwest what Collier County already knew.

"They're both tremendous workers," said Immokalee coach John Weber, who isn't surprised the players are making waves. "Two of the best I've ever been around.

Rolle will line up on the kickoff-coverage and punt-block teams today when Ohio State opens against Youngstown State. He has also worked his way to the No. 3 spot at "Will" linebacker, behind junior Marcus Freeman and sophomore Ross Horman.

He's still No. 36.

"I'm playing behind two tremendous athletes," Rolle said, "so I can't complain. Where I go from here will depend on my work ethic and how I perform in practice."

Rolle said he has set a goal for himself. He wants to make two tackles a game.

"Two tackles is enough for me," Rolle said. "Just to say I did something."
