The Walk-on

About the Book

Following a tragic accident, supremely talented Clay Marx finds himself as a walk-on player for Southeastern University’s losing football team. Marx spends most of his time in the shadows until a coach notices his freakish ability and gives him an opportunity. Strengthened by his faith in God and quest for forgiveness, Marx believes he can heal his emotional wounds and vindicate himself with a special performance in Southeastern’s season-ending game against the nation’s number one team. The Walk-on is his story.
