Roland, who covers Texas A&M for Rivals.com, was previously last seen late Sunday afternoon walking alone in a store in The Galleria, a Houston mall, according to police.
It had been reported that she had texted her roommate about a suspicious man she saw in Walgreens who followed her home, parking his blue truck behind her car in the driveway before later speeding off. Her Jeep Cherokee was found in a parking lot early Monday morning with her phone inside. Roland's iPad, computer and credit cards were also located.
The family has released a quick update on the matter through a media member:
Just got off the phone with #CourtneyRoland's folks. They wanted to let everyone know she is ok and they are so incredibly thankful for all the love, support and help received over the past day.

That's where the story dries up from a report standpoint, as everything else at this point would be speculation, and conjecture here would be fully inappropriate.
Obviously, the media community is thrilled to hear the news that she has been found safe and reportedly unharmed. Twitter rallied around the police department's first report of her disappearance, with people sharing the story throughout the night and into the morning.
Our thoughts are with her and her family at this time.
