MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — For as long as Nate Haremza has known Seth Falley, the offensive line coach at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan. remembers the note on the phone his offensive lineman carries.
"Kansas Players Can't Play" the note reads.
"We can all get on Twitter right now and see 90 million kids posting 'oh, I'm slept on,'" Haremza said. "Well, come to junior college and people will find out. At this level, especially this conference, everything you get is earned."
For Falley, the Haysville, Kan. native, the note is a subtle, everyday reminder of how he was under recruited out of high school, graduating only with Preferred Walk On opportunities at the FBS level.
