Crist Congratulates Rhodes Scholar

November 25th, 2008 by Mike Vasilinda

Rhodes Scholar and FSU defensive back Myron Rolle was a guest of Governor Charlie this morning. Crist presented the New Jersey native and newly named scholar a signed football, and congratulated Rolle on his achievements.

“All of Florida is truly proud of you and grateful to you. It’s an inspiration, what you have done and what you’ve accomplished,” Crist said. “I don’t know how you juggle all that you do and do all of it so well.”

Rolle responded by telling the Governor it was a thrill to be invited to meet with a governor.

“I do appreciate this and I do appreciate the opportunity to meet you.
Obviously it’s been a journey, a lot of hard work,” Rolle said. “I’m very proud that I
was able to win the Rhodes Scholarship and represent more than myself,
Florida State University and my teammates and my coaches, everyone who
supported me, and you, and the whole state of Florida. So this is a wonderful, wonderful moment for me. It’s exciting to meet you for the first time.”

Rolle has a 3.75 GPA and got a pre-med degree at FSU in two-and-a-half years while  mentoring Seminole Indian children in South Florida.
