Other than money, there’s not much that football can give this kid...he’s already got discipline, work ethic, determination, and tenacity. All at just 19 years old.

Great story and I hope he finds tremendous success on and off the field.

Great story.

While that's true, it's pretty incredible when you consider that his scholarship just provided this kid with a college education, a meal plan, and a place to live for four years if he wants it. That's quite a step up from working 3-7 AM so you don't get kicked out of the homeless shelter.

Major respect to the coach for giving this young man a chance to turn his life around.
