FYI that at least 20 current UH players watched the walk-on tryouts and provided vocal support for Leonard Lee and a few others. There were probably around 30 walk-on candidates who participated in the tryout.

Re: 2022 Walk-on Tryouts

Very well deserved. His teammates wanted him back, but he had to earn his way back through the walk-on tryouts in the spring. He humbly didn't wear his UH football attire and went to the back of the line for each drill. As Kapakahi said, there were many of his teammates at the tryouts supporting him. He clearly was the best one at the tryouts. Now he's on the verge of being a starting safety or at a minimum, in the rotation. Why he wasn't even on special teams the last two years totally perplexes me.

Great story. Lee said he cried when he learned of the good news and so did I reading the comments. It doesn't get any better than this. Saturday's game excitement and anticipation got even better.

Congrats to him...will the pressure be off his back, so he can tackle better? If he's the starting safety, we are in trouble.
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do. :zook:
