  • #7 WalkOn Spotlight with Jacob Harris

    As a last ditch effort to play college football, Jacob just got in his car and drove to UCF.  Without a scholarship offer, without an invitation to WalkOn-coaches stopped communicating with him.  On his way there an assistant coach called him and offered him a Preferred WalkOn opportunity.  

    Fast forward a few years later, Jacob is now training for his proday and NFL career. After a stellar senior season @ UCF, he is determined to continue to grow into a dominating force on and off the field.

    This is his story.

  • #3 Walking the Walk (1) Tahj-Anthony
    Introducing a new segment to our show; "Walking the Walk".
    This segment will highlight former WalkOns who are applying the WalkOn Mentlaity to their profession(s).   This segment will include: Entreprenuers, business owners, authors, pro athetes etc.
    Tahj- Anthony is not your average business entrepreneur. He started his career off as the captain of his high school basketball team, where he led his team to win both county, and regional championships. In addition to excelling on the basketball court, Tahj-Anthony was later offered a WalkOn position on the University of Connecticut’s ( UCONN) division-one football team.
    As a junior, Tahj  made a tough decision to leave the football team and opened up his own business. Tahj says “the decision was not an easy one, but I knew that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made thus far.” At the young age of 19, he opened up UCONN’s first- ever creperie. Rebranding himself from Student-Athlete to Student-Business owner. There, he managed an extensive staff and led a successful operation while pursuing his degree in Economics. His marketing and business strategy resulted in over 20,000 Google searches, seventy-five thousand customers, and a percentage of the profits to help feed the hungry.
    In addition to owning his own restaurant, Tahj- Anthony is currently a Senior Business Development at a startup in New York.  In his free time, he is an avid investor and continues to innovate. He continues his entrepreneurial spirit and has several pending business ventures in the works.
    Tahj believes  “It is important to constantly learn and aim to get better everyday. Just like a sport, to be successful, you have to work hard to achieve that goal.”
