Just a few years ago, this would have felt like an unlikely dream for Ronald Ollie.
Yet there he was Sunday putting on his first annual youth football camp at C.E. King High School along with his friend and Nike trainer, Justin Allen of All-En Sports.
Overcoming a rough upbringing in rural Mississippi along with academic and weight problems, Ollie, who has an infectious personality, emerged as a breakout star of Last Chance U, the popular Netflix series that chronicles the lives of junior college football players.
Now, the former Nicholls State and East Mississippi Community College defensive lineman is an undrafted rookie free agent with the Oakland Raiders vying for a roster spot on an NFL team that's about to be featured on HBO on Hard Knocks.
