Kevin Greene passed away earlier this week and I had no idea he was a walk on at Auburn. He later won SEC Defensive Player of the Year and had a Hall of Fame Pro career.
Name some walk ons at your school that went on to become a star on the team

Any news on cause of death?

Louis Oliver was a walk-on from Glades Central? Didn't know that.

walk on at Auburn
He tried to walk on when he first got on campus and Barfield cut him. He tried again a few years later under Dye and made the team.
Pretty remarkable for a guy who made the HOF.

Someone posted earlier that he had a heart attack while working out with his son. No clue if that's true, though.

Barry Krauss
I don't think Krauss was a walk on. He was was a Florida HS player of the year.

Good guy from Military family. He was a bit undersized out of HS. Would have been recruited otherwise. Made tremendous size and weight gains at AU. RIP Kevin.
