As a JSU fan, every program has a few bad apples.
Don't agree with the AD discounting walk-ons, poor taste. His statement discredits the quality walk-ons at Troy and other programs.

That Texas Tech starting QB this year was a walk-on and was good. He got injured then Texas Tech struggled the rest of the year without him. He would have received a scholarship next year, but he just announced he is transferring, but he was good and was a walk-on.

I think you have the QBs mixed up.
Brewer was supposed to be their starting QB but injured his back in pre-season and did not play until about their 8th/9th game (I think). Until then they were rotating Mayfield and Webb.
Mayfield was the walk-on from Lake Travis HS (Austin) and he was their starter for most of the season. It got a little messy when Brewer came back and then they started losing. Kingsbury then started using 3 QBs. When one wasn't getting it done he'd insert another.

I don't recall Mayfield getting hurt during their season.

According to the below ESPN article Mayfield won the QB battle during the preseason (probably because Brewer was hurt) and played until he was injured in week 5 against Kansas. Then he took back the starting job back from Davis Webb in week 10 against Kansas State. He had 8 starts. Now the battle will be between Brewer and Webb for the starting position in the Holiday Bowl. I'm on my phone so it gave me the mobile link below...
