Notre Dame surprises walk-on running back with scholarship — VIDEO

A modern-day "Rudy," Notre Dame fifth-year senior scout-team running back Josh Anderson was granted a scholarship in surprise fashion Thursday in front of his teammates.

Anderson was asked to model the Shamrock Series uniforms the Fighting Irish will wear for their Nov. 21 game against Boston College at Fenway Park.

"He didn't know he was getting a scholarship. So the guys were pretty charged up," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. "I said: You know, this is a great model. Matter of fact, he's such a great model — I said, Josh, take your helmet off — he models everything that I think is right about a Notre Dame football player. At that time I announced he was gonna get a scholarship, and the guys were excited. It was a good moment."
