There are certain things you never forget about being a Tiger.
As a former walk-on, I’ll never forget the day I received the email saying that I was going to be part of the team. Months of emailing the Director of Recruiting back and forth, expressing my interest and excitement over the opportunity, sending film, advocating for myself — it all came down to that single moment.
There are certain things you never forget about a situation like that: being invited to a practice like a real recruit, getting a tour of the facility and locker room, and even meeting former players like former wide receiver Brad Ekwurekwu, who since that very day is someone I consider a great mentor of mine.
