KALAMAZOO, Mich.- Keep grinding … keep grinding … keep grinding. It's the mantra of every walk-on player in every sport in college and Western Michigan's football team is no different.

''You don't know when your opportunity will come,'' redshirt freshman Ra'Sean Davie. ''You just have to keep grinding and giving 100 percent every day.''

Davie's background isn't typical of a walk-on. The 5-foot, 6-inch 175-pounder only played four games in his junior season (2014) and six games his senior season (2015) at Indianapolis North Central High School because of an injured Achilles heel.
