The Lions' Pride

Wow, churning them out today, Sean. Do all these stories mean we aren't getting a notebook today?

Great to get another run-on. Welcome to Von, we could always use good athletes.

Good story - always great seeing us getting run-ons. Anyone see him play?

I wonder how many run-ons we will take this year? Would be nice to get a couple LB run-on's.

Nothing. It is BOB's term because with low scholarships the guys that choose to walk-on can't walk, they'll have to hit the ground running and keep up.

"I told him, the kids who get the scholarships can end up getting beat out by the kids who are pissed off because they didn't. We had a good laugh about it, but I guess I'm just excited to start something new."
.... This is awesome. Give them hell Mr. Walker and welcome to PSU.

Love the 'tude, Von. Welcome to the family!

Our 2013 run-on class has the makings to be pret-ty, pret-ty nice (as run-on classes go).

I have no idea how his career will turn out, but I absolutely love his attitude. Half expected to see Sean Astin's picture after reading his quotes!

Dan, do you know his speed?

And if it doesn't work out on offense, he's got safety size and the attitude of someone who likes to hit. Fagnano, Keiser, Della Valle - lots of walk ons getting a crack at DB recently.

Did he have any FBS offers? Where was he likely to land if O'Brien didn't take a shine to him?

Good news. I love getting kids that bleed blue and white. Let's keep filling the roster with quality run-on's OB. Sounds like the staff is going to recruit run-on's pretty hard.

your answer was located in the article...Walker had taken them up on their offer to join the program beginning in the summer as a 'run-on,' O'Brien's version of a preferred walk-on.

I've seen him play and he is an absolute warrior. Ferocious. On offense or defense. Also very quick. I remember at a junior combine in the philly area in I think the Spring he was a top performer. Great shuttle run.
