ATLANTA -- On Day 5 of preseason camp, Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott awarded scholarships to two former walk-ons, each in a unique way.
During Tuesday's practice at Georgia State Stadium, Elliott halted a drill, called up the team, and announced, "You know what happens when you work hard?! You get rewarded!"
Then Elliott pointed right at defensive end T.J. Arnold, a junior from Rome, Ga., and Model High School.
"YOU'RE ON SCHOLARSHIP!"
The team mobbed Arnold and doused him with the water cooler.
So this happened to @tjarnold_ at practice today .
