He is only 4-foot-2, but this DFW football player will walk on at Baylor, report says

Ricardo Benitez was born with femur hypoplasia bilateral.

That means he does not have a femur in either one of his legs. As a result, the Plano West High School senior currently stands at 4-foot-2.

But according to a story from CBS Sports, the wide receiver accepted an invitation to try and continue his football career as a walk-on at Baylor under Bears head coach Matt Rhule.

In the summer of 2016, an ESPN feature showed the young pass catcher meeting with Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett during a camp for children with disabilities.
