Since 2010, the Burlsworth Trophy has been given to the most outstanding college football player who began his career as a walk-on, named in honor of former Arkansas offensive lineman Brandon Burlsworth.
Now, Burlsworth’s story also will become known on the big screen, in the form of “Greater,” a feature film based on the life of the late Burlsworth, considered by many to be the greatest walk-on in college football history. The film hits theaters Friday.
