Friday morning, Urban Meyer gave an incredible gift to two of his hardest working players.
Linebackers Joe Burger and Craig Fada, now former walk-ons, were presented with full-ride scholarships in front of the team. They signed their scholarship papers in the same area that shows off the programs Heisman Trophies in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on campus.
