Two of them last year, Sanborn and Jones, were also promised scholarships once the season began, though I am not sure exactly why they were not given scholarships before arriving at Stanford.
Jones was eligible for the baseball draft out of high school in 2019.
-m.
In Sanborn's case, once he beat out fellow PWO Alex Gracey to become the starting P, that's when he earned the scholarship. I don't think he was promised one, per se.
And like slide said, Jones counted against the football team's scholarships once he hit the field. Were he just a scout team player he'd have remained a FB walk-on on a baseball scholarship.
