Walk-ons receiving full scholarships have taken the college football world by storm in recent years, in large part due to social media and coaches and teams coming up with creative ways of breaking the news to unexpecting players.
Just a few days ago, Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin playfully chastised running back Gerald Hearns in front of the entire team after practice before surprising him with a scholarship. The video went viral on Twitter.
Texas senior defensive back Jarmarquis Durst got his moment on Thursday when he was asked to speak during a team-wide meeting before being surprised with a video notifying him he was on scholarship with the Longhorns.
