We’ve seen coaches surprise walk-ons with scholarships every which way – from Charley Molnar tricking two UMass players into thinking they’d been in legal trouble, to Brian Kelly having Josh Anderson serve as Notre Dame’s “model” for its alternate uniforms.

Thank you from all of us for believing in the row-the-boat lifestyle and exemplifying what it means to be a Bronco.
