This is the time of the year where walk-on players are rewarded with scholarships as teams figure out they have some extra scholarships to give out.

On Monday, it was Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin’s turn to hand out a surprise scholarship, and he did it in the most Kiffin way possible.

As you can see in the great video below, Kiffin starts ripping redshirt senior RB Gerald Hearn for missing a yoga class, then hands him a note and makes him read it to the team. That note, of course, says that Hearn has been placed on scholarship:

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again — the best part of these videos is how happy the player’s teammates are for him, and the Owls were thrilled for the redshirt senior.

Now we just have to wait and see if Hearn shows up to his next yoga class or not.
