N.C. State surprises walk-on Nick Lacy with scholarship (Video)
These videos never get old.
As N.C. State defensive backs coach George Barlow addressed the Wolfpack during a team meeting, he brought attention to Nick Lacy, a walk-on cornerback. Barlow called the 5-foot-7, 181-pound Lacy to the front of the room and called him one of the hardest workers on the team.
Barlow also noted Lacy’s “big-time sacrifice” as a walk-on who pays his own way through school before revealing the big surprise.

“But you know what?” Barlow said. “He ain’t gotta do it with his own money any more!”
A wide smile came across Lacy’s face and his teammates exploded in celebration. What an awesome moment.
A native of Pinehurst, N.C., Lacy played in four games for the Wolfpack on special teams in 2014 and had one fumble recovery.
Coming off an 8-5 record in 2014, the N.C. State opens its 2015 season at home against Troy on Sept. 5.
