Anyone know if this guy is on scholarship yet or if not, why? Dude is just always in the right place. In addition to the pick to seal the deal, made some TD saving tackles last Saturday. He's as important as any player on our defense this year.

No scholarships available, but I'm sure he is getting plenty of NIL love.

I believe the rules are changing with the new bigger roster size, but with NIL under the current rules it makes 0 sense to give someone who is already a walk on a scholarship. Much more effective to save that scholarship for transfers or freshman recruits and make sure the walk on gets enough NIL money to cover what a scholarship would.

I thought I heard somewhere he had told the coaches to give it to someone else? Could be completely making that up but will look for the article....

The new rules will get rid of walkons as we know them now. It will also increase parity by reducing max roster size. There will now be the hard limit of 105. As an example Nebraska has 151 players on their roster (known for tons of walkons) UT has 126. It means less leeway to find diamonds in the rough. Nebraska is famous for converting walkons into contributors and if you think about it in the last decade or 2 UT has had a lot of major contributors from the walkon ranks. Jacob Gilliam, Colton Jumper, who was the walk on DT a couple years back and no one can forget the majesty of Rod Wilks.

Teams will find a lot less guys like that.

I don't think you really know what your talking about. Rod Wilks actually put UT on scholarship!
