I just got off of the phone with Adam Yates, Humbolt asst. coach, the guy can play. Says UT will really like this kid. Has a huge heart. I met Al Wilson too back in 1993 or 1994 at JCM. I was playing WR and he was playing LB. I was told to crack back block him since the sweep was coming to my side. The ball snapped and I took off. I had him dead in my sights when all of sudden he seen me coming and de cleated me. My vision was blurry. I was seeing stars. He helped me up after the play. They beat us that year but the year before we got them. Good rivalry for a long time. Maybe Al will mentor him.

He cannot be on academic scholarship. The only way a walk on can be is if they are non recruited. That is very unlikely at this point since it appears he is a being considered a preferred walk-on.

A compliance officer described to me the only way it can happen is if a kid showed up for tryouts at the beginning of the fall semester and the coaches had never spoken to them.

Haha thanks, but I wasn't talking about me walking on. I have been on the Hill proudly for 4 years now. I'm on the 5 year plan though so I won't graduate for a while yet.
