Perspective from walk-ons, about a walk-on
Nick Andersen has been a revelation for Wake Forest’s football team. Let’s catch up with two former Deacon walk-ons who can offer a fresh side of this story.
Jack Freudenthal spent his first two days at Wake Forest as a walk-on wide receiver, and then got moved to tight end and spent the next two years grinding away so that he could earn his spot on the field.
Grant Dawson arrived at Wake Forest as the local walk-on, a Reagan High School grad just trying to learn the Deacons’ defense and stay out of the way.
