He’s a highly regarded safety for the Florida State Seminoles who was expected to be an early round pick in the NFL draft.  He’s decided to forgo his final year of eligibility at FSU, and skip this year’s draft, because he won a Rhodes scholarship.

The opportunity to attend Oxford next year as a Rhodes Scholar was one that you couldn’t pass up.

Good for him.  Nice to see this as opposed to the standard sports-star-in-trouble-with-the-law story.
