Junior offensive lineman Jaison Fournet and junior outside receiver Jonathan Johnson have been awarded scholarships by the ECU football team ahead of the upcoming season.
As multiple outlets have reported on social media, both Fournet and Johnson have been awarded scholarships after beginning their careers as walk-ons to the football team.
Fournet, who wears number 63, earned a sizable chunk of playing time down the stretch in 2018, appearing in the Pirates’ last five games due to multiple injuries of the offensive line.The 292-pound Fournet is likely to begin the 2019 campaign on the bench despite his elevation to scholarship player.
