Nice article on U walk-on: Edina teen triumphs over trouble with graduation

University of Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill decided to give Cavonte a chance, as well. Even though he suffered a devastating knee injury during the second game of his senior year, a walk-on spot was reserved for him.

Great article. Even better kid. I'm very impressed by Cavonte's (quite impressive) achievements considering he was so far behind, so recently. I'm very proud to have him on our team. Kudos to the Jones for their support of Cavonte. Definitely a feel good article.

A must read. We never get enough good news. I would love to see Cavonte earn a chance to be a Captain of the team before he finishes graduate school.

One of those really good stories - Credit those foster parents for making a difference in a world that can be pretty messed up.

Hard not to be supportive and wish him the best.

Excellent story! thanks for sharing. It will be fun to root for him from afar in academics and athletics.
