ICYMI: @LSUCoachJones rewarded walk-on Henry Shortess with a scholarship Thursday. And it was awesome. #LSU https://t.co/X9Uvm8wAHl
— LSU Tigers (@LSUsports) January 22, 2016Succeeding as a walk-on takes a tremendous amount of courage and determination. With no guarantees or financial support, it's simply an athlete's faith in themselves and their love for the game which propels them to reach for the ultimate validation of their improvement and contributions—a scholarship.
Such was the case for LSU basketball guard Henry Shortess who was recently acknowledged by head coach Johnny Jones for his efforts.
