Walk-on fulfills
lifelong dream
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Reporter
Stewart Krisch dreamed of play
ing football for Texas A&M. In the
spring of 1982, that dream became
reality — he made the team as a
walk-on.
Krisch, standing 5-foot-10 inches
tall and weighing 165 pounds,
played guard and defensive end
during his freshman and sophomore
years at John Marshall High School
in San Antonio.
“My school got split-up and I had
to go to a different school my junior
year,” Krisch said. “Since I trans
ferred back to Marshall my senior
year, I didn’t get to play my last two
years of high school.”
When Jackie Sherrill came to
Texas A&M, Krisch, then a sopho
more, saw his chance to make the
team.
“The system was new and every
one was learning so I thought that it
would be an ideal time to try out,” he
said.
My dad went to A&M, so I have
been an Aggie fan all of my life. I
haven’t missed a game since 1974. If
I couldn’t go in person, I listened on
the radio and I keep stats on all the
f ames. I’vejust wanted to play all my
fe.”
The 1984 season begins Krisch’s
third year as a split end for the Ag
gies. In those three years, he has
been in an actual game for one play.
“I got to play one play against Ar
kansas State last year,” he said. “It
was an unreal feeling. It was some
thing I had thought about for a long
time.
I couldn’t believe it when he put
us in. I was so excited I just wanted
to hit somebody. In fact, I almost
clipped the cornerback.”
Although walk-on players aren’t
allowed to travel with the team to
road games, they usually get to dress
in uniform for the home games.
Krisch wore the maroon and
white for five out of seven home
games his sophomore season, four
last season and expects to suit up for
all seven this season.
The walk-on players do get to eat
the pregame meal with the schol
arship players and they also get to
run tnrough the spirit line.
“Running through the spirit line
is great,” Krisch said. “It really gets
you fired up.”
The walk-on players practice
about half the time with the schol
arship players. The rest of the time
they run the plays of the upcoming
opponent.
“We do the same things schol
arship players do except we don’t get
paid (tutition) for it,” Krisch said.
“It’s a lot of work but I just love be
ing out there.”
Krisch said that the walk-ons are
treated the same as the scholarship
players.
“(A&M Wide Receivers’) Coach
(Jerry) Pettibone is a good coach,” he
said. “He has given us all a chance.”
Krisch said that he is also included
in the wide receivers special group,
the “Sky Lords.”
“There is a certain pride within
our group,” he said. “We’re real clo
se.”
Krisch’s only opportunities to play
occur when the Aggies are way
ahead.
“Before the year started, I
thought I might get to play against
UTEP, Arkansas State and Rice,” he
said. “I’m just waiting for one more
opportunity.”
If the Aggies go to a bowl game
this year, Krisch will get to travel
with the team.
“If we don’t have any injuries, I
can see us playing Texas for the Cot
ton Bowl,” he said.
Krisch said the experience of be
ing on the team will nelp him in his
career as a coach.
“I’ve learned so much as a walk-
on,” he said. “Just having the experi
ence of being out there will help me
get a job.”
