Saw Mel Kiper’s list and he mentioned Kyle Louis as a favorite prospect. That’s a walk-on story. It takes me back to the kind of program we used to be, the kind Coach Price built. You’d have a kid show up with nothing but a duffel bag and a dream, and four years later he’s the heart of the defense, leading the team onto the field for the Alamo Bowl. That culture is what made us special. Now, with the portal, a kid like that gets a good spring game and he’s shoopping himself to the highest bidder by dinner. The walk-on used to be the soul of your team, the ultimate proof that development and heart mattered more than stars. Now it’s just another transaction waiting to happen, and we’ve lost something you can’t put in a NIL collective.
