Rolland is listed at 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds on his Harvard bio page. He did not play last season because the Ivy League canceled its football season.

Penn State added Eric Wilson from Harvard via the transfer portal. This is what we wrote about him in our Roster Rumblings:

** OL ERIC WILSON (6-4, 280)

A grad transfer from Harvard, he announced Jan. 27 that he is transferring to Penn State. He becomes the fifth player to transfer to PSU this offseason. Wilson did not play in 2020 because the Ivy League did not have football. He was preseason first-team all-Ivy League by Phil Steele. He played in all 20 games for Harvard the previous two seasons. He announced in November he was going to transfer to Auburn but wound up changing his mind after coach Gus Malzahn was fired. He now will come to PSU. Ironically, Auburn plays at Penn State in week three this fall. Read more about him here.
