Showing no signs of slowing down throughout his high school career, Kyler Schott carried that same passion for the game of football to the next level as a walk-on for the University of Iowa. Due to injuries that surfaced the offensive line in the 2019 season, Schott was given an immediate starting role and made the most of it. Going into the spring semester of 2020, Schott earned a scholarship and hopes to continue to improve his game with some kind of All-Conference award being the next accolade on his mind. Join me as I sit down with Kyler Schott and talk about his journey. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kmcooksley/support

After Episode 5 with John Beam, I knew I had to reach out to Dior Scott and try to bring him on for an episode. His story that was on display throughout Last Chance U, was eye-opening and made you really put things into perspective.

You are helping me make a dream come true. #StrayDawg --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kmcooksley/support
