Sid 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Tim Horton @CoachTimHortonCongrats to the three walk-ons who were rewarded with scholarships tonight. Always good to see good things happen to good kids! #WarEagle Who are the other two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBigCat 17 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think I remember hearing early on that he was really doing great at WR but haven't heard a peep since that ADay hit. Anyone know if he has a legitimate chance at significant playing time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thats great. That is one of the reasons it's nice to be 2 or 3 short of 85 at signing day. We can reward walk-on players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threedog79 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 This makes me just as happy if not more than signing a high star player. This is what a student athlete is all about. Hit the books, love the game, and it pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUNurse 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Beyond excited for Blake! What a stand up guy who 100% deserves this! Couldn't be happier for him or more proud that he represents our university through such a prominent activity as the football team. War Eagle Blake!

ellitor 33,109 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thats great. That is one of the reasons it's nice to be 2 or 3 short of 85 at signing day. We can reward walk-on players. It does not matter if we are 3 or 5 under at NSD. We can give these out as long as we are 2 or 3 under come August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not matter if we are 3 or 5 under at NSD. We can give these out as long as we are 2 or 3 under come August. OK, between signing day and August then. Kinda makes sense though that if we are 2 or 3 short on signing day, we will be at least 2 or 3 short in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdofPrey76 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 It's always good to see dedication and hard work rewarded. Especially today when so many want it handed to them while they sit on their cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but as Mikey pounds in our heads over in the recruiting forum even if you have 85 at NSD you are a virtual lock to lose 2 or 3 to natural attrition by August. I am just now finally listening to him. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Happy for Blake! I had the chance to teach him while I was a GTA few years back. Super nice kid and a just a big ole' country boy who tries hard in the classroom (seriously one of the thickest country accents I've ever heard).

auburnpride99 6 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Very proud of all these young men. I can't imagine the personal sacrifices they've had to make while hoping to earn a scholarship. Does anyone know if the walk on players get the same treatment or benefits as the scholarship players. Same access to meals, trainers, training facilities, supplements, tutors? Just curious.
