When Wolf Pack football player Trevor Taft first arrived at Nevada in the fall of 2011, he did so as a walk-on who was supposed to share a dorm room with two other players trying to walk onto the team.
“One never showed up. He quit before he got here,” Taft said. “The other kid tore his ACL the first day. I was supposed to have two roommates but I was all by myself in the dorm. I didn’t know anybody.”
And complicating matters was this: He was going through a Chris Ault-run fall camp, which were legendary for their degree of difficulty – “Coach Ault’s fall camps were no joke,” Taft said.
