4'2" Wide Receiver Will Walk on at Baylor University

[OrlandNole]

Ricardo Benitez, who is a 4'2", 100-pound wide receiver, was born without femurs and told he may never walk, but that didn't stop the Texas native from pursuing his dream of playing football. After attending Baylor coach Matt Rhule's football camp, the 18-year-old committed to the school as a non-scholarship player.

Here's the best part:
Benitez was about $20,000 short of being able to go to Baylor but has a GoFundMe campaign to help raise the funds.

Really? You couldn't think of a better adjective?
