Jeff Schoettmer: Walk-on to starter?

Posted Aug 15, 2013
It was the middle of practice on the third day of North Carolina’s training camp when linebackers coach Ron West told Jeff Schoettmer, “OK, you’re with the 1s.” With that, a walk-on from Dallas became the favorite to start at inside linebacker. “I couldn’t think about it much because I was in the middle of practice,” Schoettmer said. “I couldn’t diagnose ‘I’m with the 1s.’ I just had to go play, really.” (Durham Herald-Sun)
