Tanner Lawson had accepted a preferred walk-on position with WCU, has now decided to attend the Citadel instead. No idea if they offered him a scholly. from twitter.... He was a Preferred Walk On so the coaches were not too high on him anyway. Honestly it is not that big a loss in my opinion. From a school perspective, I think he is making a mistake, because I think Citadel will go down pretty quickly now that they lost their coach 2 years back. They won last year with left overs. Also, there is always a risk with a PWO, because if a PWO picks up a scholarship from another school or gets a PWO at a bigger school, you will probably always lose them. To me, this is no big deal at all.

Skip I thought the change in schools might have been somewhat economic as well, since he will also be a walk-on at El Cid & hails from South Carolina, until I looked up the tuition to attend The Citadel. Total (Not including Quartermaster) $41,121.00 per year So the decision was not made on cost of attending either school.

The Citadel has lost a lot of players since last season, to discipline issues, players leaving, etc. They were probably scrambling to fill some open spots.

Could be way off base but with all of the LBs I started wondering if we were switching to a 3-4 defense... Have heard before the saying about using a 3-4 vs. a 4-3 - "a lot easier to find a LB than a DT" I heard our base defense will be 3-4.

Five from WNC to walk on with Catamounts When National Signing Day rolled around in February no area football players were inked to play at Western Carolina University. That, though, doesn’t mean the Southern Conference school won’t get an influx of local talent as five players recently decided to join the team as preferred walk-ons. Smoky Mountain lineman Cole Burch, defensive back/wide receiver Connor Moore and linebacker Matthew Klipa and Mitchell tight end Alex McKinney and lineman Todd Self will become Catamounts. www.citizen-times.com/story/sports/high-school/hshuddle/2017/03/31/five-wnc-walk-catamounts/99891344/
