WMU Kicks A Scholarship To A Walk On. Literally. [Video]

As the Western Michigan Broncos football team prepare for their huge season opener at Waldo Stadium against Big Ten power Michigan State, they decided to practice their onside kicks.

And they literally kicked a scholarship into the hands of walk on athlete Trevor Sweeney. At first he was confused, and then he was mobbed by his joyous teammates. Is it dusty in here?

According to the Bronco Video YouTube page:

Walk on Trevor Sweeney was surprised with a scholarship during practice in training camp. Sweeney is a special teams standout that plays with ELITE passion at every opportunity. His heartwork, dedication, and sacrifice for the program was recognized with a full ride scholarship with Bronco Football. 

This warms my heart to no end, much like last week's video of Notre Dame player, this rewards a guy who gave of his free time to be on the team, while paying his own way through school. To be given a reward like this is not only heart warming, it keeps him from taking out more loans to pay for school.

Even though I went to CMU, I love this!
