A video of a Georgia Southern player finding out that she just received a full scholarship is going viral on Friday, and for good reason. Freshman guard Jaiden Hamilton, who has started nine games for the Eagles, and averages 22 minutes per game this season, didn’t come to the school on a scholarship – but the program rewarded her hard work midway through the season with a full ride, and came up with an original idea for the big reveal.
We’ve seen countless videos of coaches announcing scholarships in team meetings before, but the Georgia Southern staff slipped the news into a team game plan, and then had Hamilton read the breakdown aloud to the group.
“They won’t be able to stop me, because I have just received a full-ride scholarship to Georgia Southern University.”
Hamilton’s teammates erupted and piled on top of her in celebration.
