Last Chance U: Where are former star players in 2019?
By Phil Poling
Ronald Ollie became a Netflix star during EMCC: Part 1, and it was evident from the first episode he was a tremendously talented football player. In the opening game of the 2015 season, Ollie recorded two fumble recoveries, one of which he scooped up and scored a touchdown. It was simply a race to reach his potential from then on.

Ollie recently finished the college leg of his run at Nicholls State. He took the 2017 season off, but sandwiched together two solid campaigns in 2016 and 2018 as a member of the Colonels. Both years saw him contribute in the trenches, and he was recognized by the Southland Conference as an honorable mention.
Following the 2019 NFL Draft, Ollie was signed by the Oakland Raiders after a tryout. Head coach Jon Gruden appeared to attack the draft by adding instant-impact players, and Ollie could prove to be another one added via free agency.
