AUMASTERS 555 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thought this was an interesting read on Will Hastings, from Soccer player, to Football player, to preferred walk-on, and some huge props to Kodi (and Coach Horton) for recognizing the kids talent and rewarding him with playing time http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2016/09/the_unorthodox_rise_of_auburns.html#incart_river_index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubinvnam 29 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This kid is going to make some big plays for us before the season is over. That first catch where he got that first down was nails. I love Marcus D but he had a similar situation and came up short when it seemed like with more awareness he could have picked it up.

JMassie11 1,610 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 There are some things that just can't be taught and this kid has it. If he was 6'2 200lbs he could have gone anywhere in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleFlight34 101 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 These are the type stories that just make you feel good about college football. With so much negative and downside, we need to hear more stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,873 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 He's gonna be a fan favorite for sure. Definitely has a place on this team and could excell in this offense if we get our heads outta the sand and start playing AU offense again.

JFDTiger80 791 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hastings is our Edleman (sp) but maybe a little faster. Cool story on him. Kid must be pretty tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. Will never forget that catch he made against A&M. Did not mean it as a dig though I guess it kind of was. The kid is a great player for sure. Hope he balls out this year.

gr82be 14,511 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Maybe a skeptical someone on here now understands why a walk-on was awarded a scholarship. Hastings not only has the talent but better yet he has the desire. When those two things come together then watch out. He's going to be fun to watch.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Will is turning out to be a really good WR for us. The first time I saw him on the roster, he was listed as a kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem about this past season's awarding schollies to walk-ons had to do with how many and not who. Young men like Hastings are 100% inspirational and it looks like Hastings may be a diamond in the rough. I thoroughly enjoy watching Hastings play and I think he can be an important weapon for our O all year. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
