KALAMAZOO, Mich. – In 2015, Trevor Sweeney received a full scholarship on an onside kick during one of the Western Michigan football team's practices. In 2016, the team raised the bar and brought in special guest Sylvester Stallone to help award redshirt sophomore Kasey Carson a full scholarship.
Carson, a Battle Creek, Mich. native, was challenged by a fully-padded Coach Fleck to stop him at the goal line and if he did, there would be no team meetings that night. Sure enough, Carson stopped Fleck but that wasn't the biggest part of practice.
