This is the Intro episode to the Walk-On Podcast with host, John Fairbanks. In this episode John is joined and introduced by Tyler Stone where they share John's backstory to joining the University of Florida Gators football team, where John walked-on and eventually earned a scholarship from 2006-2010. They tease out the next 4 episodes of the Walk-On Podcast being companion episodes that go along with the UNTOLD: SWAMP KINGS documentary that hit Netflix earlier this week (as of this recording) where John and other walk-on players from those years will get together and share behind-the-scenes insight, stories, and more that wasn't shared in the Netflix documentary.

The Walk-On Podcast gets you inside the locker room. Hear the real stories directly from the very players who didn’t get that ever elusive scholarship right out of high school. Who willed their way onto the biggest teams in the nation and eventually to game day through grit, grind, and an admittedly insatiable drive to do the unthinkable. We're serving up raw stories from championship seasons, overtime victories, locker room antics, devastating losses, and brutal off-season workouts. Tune in and get a taste of the glory, the pain, and everything in between.
