“It was honestly surreal,” Auburn linebacker Jake Levant said about learning he earned a football scholarship. “It took me a second to realize it was happening ...'
Levant had scholarship offers from several schools, including UAB and Tulane. His four older siblings all went to Auburn. His sister Lauren played tennis for the Tigers. Levant chose to walk on at Auburn because he valued coming to his dream school.
Levant had one tackle in eight games last season. He mostly played on special teams. Harsin said that Levant’s role could increase this year. Getting on the field beyond special teams won’t be easy since linebacker is one the deepest groups at Auburn this season. However, Levant won’t let that stop him from trying. He continues to make plays in practice, like his interception off Zach Calzada during a 7v7 drill.
“Don’t worry about — obviously, you’re trying to work to get a scholarship — but you should be motivated by your love for the game, not a scholarship,” Levant said. You should play whether you’re playing for free or not. I think if you have the right mentality, then people notice. Then you’ll get noticed.”Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
