Tyler Hunt packed his bags.
The next morning he would leave for Meramec Community College to play baseball, giving up his dream of playing football for Missouri.
That is, until the phone rang.
“‘You’re gonna show up for two-a-days,’” Carol Hunt, Tyler’s mother recounted. “‘You’re a preferred walk on.’”
He made the decision immediately, but he still called his parents, Carol and Ronald, for advice.
“What do you think I should do?” Carol remembers him asking.
“Well, that’s your call, only you can make that call,” Carol and Ronald mirrored each other’s statements.
