Peyton O’Leary came to Michigan as a walk-on. Now with the program for two years, O’Leary’s efforts and improvement have earned the respect of his teammates and coaches.
O’Leary is no longer a walk-on. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh recently called O’Leary to tell him he’s earned a scholarship.
“I was pumped. It’s been a dream come true to be able to play football here, and it’s truly a blessing to earn a scholarship,” O’Leary said. “My family was really proud of me. It was great too, because in my class we had four preferred walk-ons, and three of us just got put on scholarship.
