Walk-on Warriors. The following non-scholarship players got PT against Kal.
- OLB Thunder Justice Keck played in his eleventh game. He recorded a tackle, even. Like others, I think that Thunder Justice is next in line to get a scholie. Similar to Beecher, he's an ST stalwart, and may end up getting in the OLB rotation next year.
- CB J.J. Parson played in his fifth game. Parson has seen more playing time than other walk-ons, save Thunder Justice. I wonder if they are thinking of moving him to safety, a la Noah Williams.
- OLB Caleb Phillips played in his second game.
- OLB Anthony Trinh played in his fourth game.
- ILB Ryan Beecher, a former walk-on, played in his twelfth game (out of twelve).
- S Noah Williams, a former walk-on, played in his eleventh game.
- It is interesting that three OLB walk-ons got playing time. I'm guessing that everyone moved up a notch or two in the pecking order with the injuries at that position. Whatever the case, it does bode well in player development at OLB to see so many get snaps.
