Walk-ons are always the fan favorites. When they get in the game, especially at home, they are basically human victory cigars. Hours of work in practices are paid back in brief moments of playing time during a 20-point blowout where they might get one possession. During said possession, the crowd, of course, implores them to shoot.
We have had many walk-ons move forward to greatness. Bobby Riddell, Bubba Day, Grady Eifert, and the beloved Tommy Luce. Now we have a new one to cheer for per a report from GBI:
King is the grandson of former men’s head coach athletic director George King, who coached the Boilers from 1966-72.
