You probably know by now that Coach Fleck has a long history of surprising walk-on players with scholarship offers. Sometimes it happens at practice. Sometimes Sylvester Stallone is involved. And sometimes the player finds out during an Easter egg hunt. The key thing is that it’s always a surprise and that Fleck and his staff always turn it into an event the player will remember.
Today the day to remember belongs to redshirt junior defensive lineman Sam Renner. Sam earned his scholly by graduating from the U in just 3 years (he’ll receive his degree this spring) with a BS in Applied Economics.
