    A bruising runner, exceptional blocker, and a hard worker with excellent size (6-2, 251) and good hands out of the backfield, Rolly moved up to tightend/H-back as a junior in 2006. That year he recorded 21 carries for 95 yards and caught one pass for nine yards. This season he split starting duties with junior Eddie Williams and played in all 12 games, catching 8 passes for 67 yards.

    His strength has always been as a mobile blocker with power in short yardage situation.

    Very nice size for a fullback, going to be tougher for Maui to make it out of camp on the roster. I think his arrest will be his undoing.

    We had info on him and Poppinga before the draft as very possible signees if they were not drafted.

    WOW lol. Our FB core has some of the most interesting names in the league. Reagan Mauai (maybe), Rolly Lumbala and Boomer Grigsby. Unique names to say the least.
