Josh Davis, who will get his first look as a walk-on wide receiver with the Dartmouth football team this fall, has been awarded a $20,000 Foot Locker Scholar Athlete scholarship. The shot above is from a Los Angeles Times clip.
Davis got a mention in an earlier LA TIMES column about players honored by the National Football Foundation. The story included this:
Josh Davis, a receiver at Garfield, used to be homeless and living in shelters. Then his grandmother took him in. He gets up at 5 a.m. and takes two buses to school. He has a 4.21 GPA and hopes to attend Dartmouth and become a psychiatrist.
"Growing up, I didn't have anybody to talk to as a kid," he said. "Growing up is hard with no one to talk to. I want to be there for kids."Find Davis' Foot Locker bio (click on his photo) and information on the Foot Locker Scholar Athlete program HERE.
