While Tevin Coleman was the lone Hoosier to get drafted this past weekend, he is far from the only Indiana player to get a shot to play on Sundays. Just hours after the draft was completed three Hoosiers were snatched up as priority free agents on Saturday night. The talented speedster Shane Wynn will be joining Coleman down in Atlanta and looks like he will be competing for time as a kick returner and slot receiver. Former walk-on Collin Rahrig will be headed to Pittsburgh to continue his underdog story. And Florida native Bobby Richardson is headed back south, now to Louisiana where he will be joining the Saints.

The Hoosier senior had an outstanding career that started as a walk-on. In his four-year playing career Rahrig played in 40 games, starting 36 of them. He spent most of his time playing center, but moved around the line due to injuries playing 12 games at left guard and five games at right guard.

On Friday Indiana Hoosier head coach Kevin Wilson announced that six walk-on players have received scholarships. These players are wide receivers Damon Graham, Isaiah Roundtree, tight ends Michael Cooper, Anthony Cosaro, center Colin Rahrig, and punter Erich Toth. Cosaro, Roundtree, Rahrig, and Toth had earned scholarships before and earned them once again for the 2014 season.

The award is presented annually to college football’s most outstanding center. While this is a great honor for anyone it will surely be appreciated more from someone who had to earn a scholarship as a former walk-on.
