Then-Heritage Hall quarterback Connor McGinnis should've been completely focused on the Class 3A state championship game last December.
But the Monday before the title game against Cushing, McGinnis received some news that changed the future he'd been planning for months.
McGinnis received a letter from Yale declining his admission and sending him once again scrambling for what he'd do in the future.
Months later, McGinnis wound up as a recruited walk-on quarterback at Oklahoma and now is splitting scout-team duties with fellow walk-on Reece Clark.
McGinnis is the latest Sooners player to be featured in The Oklahoman's "Walk-on Wednesday" series.
