Roland-Wallace, a 6-foot, 205-pound Palmdale, California product, signed with the UA in 2019, the first official recruiting class of the Kevin Sumlin era, despite a late push by the Trojans. Roland-Wallace started at cornerback in 37 of the 41 games he played in from 2019-22 and registered 169 tackles, 18 pass breakups, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in four seasons.

Roland-Wallace was a mainstay cornerback in Arizona's defense the last two years as the counterpart to Treydan Stukes and Notre Dame transfer Isaiah Rutherford.

Now Roland-Wallace will compete for a starting spot on USC's defense, which loses graduate transfer Mekhi Blackmon. 

The Wildcats play the Trojans in 2023 at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum for the last time as Pac-12 opponents.
