After last season, Rock Ya-Sin had a big decision to make regarding his future. Presbyterian College decided to become a non-scholarship program, so Ya-Sin had to find a new school. The coaches at Presbyterian couldn't ignore his ability nor restrain him from the chance to take the next step in his football career. Presbyterian's running backs coach Mitch Hall played under Geoff Collins at Western Carolina. Temple's coach Collins took a look at his tape and it didn't take much more before Rock Ya-Sin was officially a Temple Owl.
Ya-Sin knew instantly that this was the environment he felt he can flourish in.
