Hathaway on scholarship
Carmichaels graduate Bobby Hathaway earned a football scholarship at WVU the hard way.
Hathaway entered the West Virginia University football program as a walk-on defensive back, but grew into a linebacker and has impressed Mountaineer coaches enough to earn a scholarship. He is expected to be a backup linebacker in the fall, which will be his redshirt sophomore season at WVU. That means he has three years of football eligibility remaining.
