Hailing just half an hour from Atlanta, Georgia, Rock Ya-Sin didn’t play football until his Junior year of high school. So when he graduated he first attended Presbyterian College in South Carolina.
After spending three years with his FCS school, he was afforded the opportunity to transfer into an FBS program, and he took it by transferring to Temple University.
Not only was Ya-Sin a first-team AAC All-American, he was also selected by his teammates to wear a coveted single-digit number (No. 6) in his one year with the team.
The honor of wearing a single-digit number is only allowed for players who have proven their toughness and accountability within the program.
