Six former walk-on football players were awarded athletic scholarships this offseason.
Washington State University coaches awarded scholarships to redshirt-sophomore Dillon Sherman, redshirt-juniors Trey Tinsley, Brandon Arconado, and Tristan Brock, and redshirt-seniors Kyle Celli and Taylor Comfort.
"They contributed for a couple years, and have done a good job," head coach Mike Leach said.
The first player to receive a scholarship was Comfort. Defensive line coach Jeff Phelps broke the news to Comfort at the end of the 2017 season.
"He told me before the bowl game," Comfort said.
