(STATS) – Villanova senior safety Rob Rolle will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee during last Saturday’s 19-10 overtime loss at Albany.
An MRI this week confirmed the injury.
The 2017 STATS FCS Preseason All-American, also named the CAA Football preseason defensive player of the year, is eligible for a medical redshirt and can return for a fifth year in 2018. He had been considered a prospect for next year’s NFL draft.
Last season, the 6-foot, 185-pound Rolle tied for the FCS high with seven interceptions, including one he returned for a 100-yard touchdown. He also scored on a fumble recovery and had 63 tackles.
This season, he totaled 14 tackles, two pass breakups and one fumble recovery in No. 14 Villanova’s 2-2 start.
