00:00 As we all know, Cal has had considerable success with walk-ons under Justin Wilcox.
00:06 Two of them, Ashton Davis, safety for the Jets, is playing in the NFL.
00:13 And Patrick Laird, running back, has played for a couple of teams.
00:17 He wasn't on an active roster late this season, but he has been on an active roster in the
00:22 NFL in the past.
00:23 I believe he's on a practice squad this year.
00:26 And just this season, two of Cal's top receivers, tight end Jack Endres and wide receiver Trond
00:33 Grissel, both walk-ons.
00:37 So Cal has a lot of success with walk-ons and has a couple more coming in in 2024, including
00:43 this Isaac Torres from Santa Rosa JC, who has this interesting story of having his fall
00:51 season documented with the help of a friend.
