Meet Tyrone Fahie. He is a proud member of the Nebraska Cornhusker football team. He earned his spot on the squad from open tryouts. He was in the band in high school. Just a typical good guy with a great work ethic.
These types of players exist in almost any program. There are walk-ons that finally earn a shot (and a scholarship) their senior year. Sometimes they weren't rated highly enough by recruiting services and had to walk-on. Maybe they played at a small high school so no one knew about them. Back in the day, Nebraska made a living off of walk-ons.
So what makes Tyrone special? He is infinitely more badass than you, that's what. He's a veteran of the United States Navy. He served two tours in Iraq. He worked with SEAL Team One. That's not to say that he was a SEAL but even if he wasn't, he could kick your ass. Even though he's from Virginia Beach, he grew up watching the Cornhuskers and decided he wanted to play for them.
Tyrone Fahie = stud.

Nice story. I'm pulling for the guy as well. We need to find more of these nuggets to write about.
