Playing sports can mean many things to different people. For some, it could be a way to form bonds and friendships, or even feel like they are part of a group with similar interests.
For others, it's about learning good sportsmanship and practices, or cultivating a skill.
However, it's also undeniable that sports can change one's life for the better — even in a concrete and tangible way.
One lucky football player and college student had no idea that just one practice would be one of the most defining moments of his career: He was awarded a full scholarship after coming onto the field as a mere walk-on player.
Odell Miller has been lauded for his skill on the field and his hard work — and he was finally rewarded with the huge surprise at practice.
Surrounded by his teammates, the sophomore student had no idea that one small note given to him by his coach would bear such good news.
The deserving student fought hard to get to where he is, and will undoubtedly continue to fight with this incredible opportunity.
