Jeff Schoettmer Not Your Typical Walk-On

Posted Aug 21, 2013
North Carolina's Jeff Schoettmer never really worried about his lack of scholarship status. What helped, though, is that mentor/linebacker Kevin Reddick didn't either. "He said, 'Look: I know you can play, you know you can play, who cares if you're a walk-on?'" Schoettmer, now a redshirt sophomore, remembered. "No need to think of it." So Schoettmer didn't. Still doesn't. (GoHeels.com)
