Damn, that’s without a doubt going to be the most heartwarming video we see all day. It was powerful, raw and real.
That’s the look of a father who couldn’t be more proud of his son for earning a scholarship after initially walking on.
If that didn’t pull at your emotions, then you just don’t have a heart.
I’m a gigantic sucker for these scholarship reveal videos. I love them. Walk-ons are greatly under-appreciated in college sports.
They never get the glory the stars do, but they put in the work to make sure the starters are getting the best practice possible.
Sometimes, a guy works hard enough to earn a scholarship, and I’ll always love to see it.
I can’t wait to see who gets surprised next!
