ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Through spring practices, fall camps, every in-season workout for five years, David Georges was there.
He did the running, lifted the weights, studied the playbook, did everything he was permitted to do as a college football walk-on.
Come game day, he almost never got to play.
What was in it for him?
Essentially two things, the fifth-year University of New Mexico tight end said in a recent post-practice interview: selflessness and self-worth.
If those words are in apparent contradiction, let Georges explain.
“What I’ve gotten out of (these past five years as a walk-on), to be quite honest, is self-worth,” he said.
