The latest college football player to leave eligibility on the table is the rare early entrant who’s the combination of a tight end who began his career as a walk-on.
As all of the cool players are doing these days, Kahale Warring used Twitter to announce that he has decided to enter the 2019 NFL Draft. In a subsequent interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, Warring, who didn’t play football until he was a senior in high school, described his rise from freshman walk-on to NFL prospect.
“I didn’t have an NFL dream,” Warring told the Union-Tribune. “That never crossed my mind until this season started coming to an end.
“I was always trying to take the next step from making camp as a freshman walk-on to getting on the field in games and earning a scholarship to being as much of a contributor as I could to help us win games.”
