Former walk-on ‘finally getting his shot’ in forgettable season for TCU

TCU is in the midst of what’s becoming a forgettable season.

The injuries have piled up. The offense is struggling to score. The defense is struggling to keep points off the board.

Oftentimes lost in these types of seasons are stories of players such as Cole Novak. This is a guy who never played football in high school, joined as a walk-on in 2014 and is now seeing significant time as the No. 1 tight end his senior season.

“He’s faced the most adversity I’ve ever seen and he’s finally getting his shot,” said Calli Novak, Cole’s sister who is on TCU’s volleyball team.
