Gary Andersen called a few guys up at the end of practice yesterday to pull some "prizes" from a hat.
The first guy drew 30 minutes of free study table time, and the next guy drew a scholarship for walk on Gave Ovgard, who couldn't believe what just happened.
Ovgard started his career in Corvallis as a walk-on receiver and was moved to the secondary last season due to some injuries and various struggles. In the two games that he saw action, Ovgard recorded 23 tackles, 1 interception, and a pass break up.
Now, thanks to a twist from Gary Andersen and his staff, he's on full scholarship...and the kid couldn't be more grateful.
Credit to Andersen and his staff for this one. Very creative idea.
