Chances are, the names of fullback Trey Gallman, wide receiver Tiger Scheyd and offensive lineman Turner Simmers will not echo through the speakers on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium. With the exception of punter Zach Von Rosenberg, LSU’s walk-on football players don’t often see playing time, but they play a vital role in the success of the program – even after they’re done walking on.
During picture day in August, head coach Ed Orgeron awarded scholarships to Gallman, Scheyd and Simmers, who are all seniors, as well as Von Rosenberg, who is a sophomore.
