Were you a
walk-on at William and Mary?
I was a walk-on. In 2008 I came in as a walk-on and was put on scholarship my redshirt junior
year.
How did it feel
to earn your scholarship?
When I came in as a freshman, coach told me a lot of walk-ons here at
William and Mary get put on scholarship through hard work. I think with being on the scout team my
freshman year, playing a little as a redshirt freshman, and getting into the
rotation and doing something for the team, my redshirt sophomore year helped
prove and pave the way to get a scholarship from Coach Laycock.
How is the
experience for a walk-on?
We are all treated the same, whether you are on scholarship or not. Opportunities are the same, so you just have
to make the most out of them.
