It was too good to be true.
That’s one of the thoughts that crossed Dalton Schoen’s mind after the Kansas State receiver caught a pass over the middle and rumbled 70 yards for a touchdown against Central Arkansas last week.
There was no other way to explain what just happened. Not after being overlooked as a football recruit at Blue Valley Northwest. Not after fighting just to make K-State’s roster as a walk-on. Not after toiling behind the scenes with the scout team. He thought he was about to wake up. Any minute now, the dream would fade away.
