TROY — Wetumpka native Hunter Reese was plodding through his Wednesday when a surprise hit him.
Reese, a senior defensive lineman for Troy, was headed to a position meeting when a Troy staff member’s text started him.
“Congrats, you deserved it,” Patrick Johnston texted to Reese, whose response was altogether predictable.
“Congrats on what?”
Reese, the former walk-on, was named first-team All-Sun Belt Conference on Wednesday, a fact that Johnston soon shared with Reese.
