Walk-on to scholarship surprises in NCAA football are all the rage these days, and now Texas A&M is playing its part.
During a team meeting and film session, two former walk-ons realized they would be receiving scholarships for their hard work via team highlights.
Junior wide receiver Boone Niederhofer and senior running back Brice Dolezal were among teammates when they learned the good news. Once it was announced and the video was over, the two players were congratulated with fist bumps and hugs.
Dolezal has rushed for 253 yards and a touchdown in his career, while Niederhofer had 29 receptions for 293 yards and a score last year in his only season in College Station.
