Also, it should be recognized that there are a lot of good football players who want to play college ball but who are not offered scholarships. We try to contact every high school and every prospect in the entire state, even if they are going to be offered scholarships. Because, the fact is, some of those guys are overlooked on national letter days, and we re the school that s been talking to them. It s also the visit that makes the difference we re friendly, we offer an opportunity to come to a small school and get a lot of individual attention, and we have a beautiful campus and a multimillion-dollar athletic complex. At Methodist College we go out to meet the clientele, and a lot of them are people just like me. I m from the coal mines of West Virginia, and these guys are from the cotton mills and the tobacco farms, and most of them are first-generation students so we get some kids who are at risk academically. Once they get here, we try to work with them. We ve had many success stories of kids who were not that great in the classroom in high school, but who managed to stay in college. Here, our first priority is to get a degree, and then to play football at its highest level.<br><br>BFS: Has your emphasis on edcation benefitted your football team?<br> <br>JS: That s how we got better as a football team we kept our kids in school. I remember back when we started we had only one senior on our squad; now we have classes of 12-14 and the numbers are growing every year. I think when it gets to the point where we have 20-25 seniors in the program, we can feel optimistic that we can be a strong force every year.<br><br>BFS: Are there any other advantages to going to a small college?<br><br>JS: In a Division 3 school there is room and time for players to be many things at the college. They can come here to play ball, get an education, and still enjoy the bn II and Division I football, Wall replied,  Number one, the crowd - there s usually around 80,000 fans here every home game, and at Southwest Baptist we were lucky to see maybe 2,000. The fans back the University a hundred percent - we have the best fans in the nation. Also, you have to put a lot more time and effort playing at Division I. There are more practices, tougher practices and you have to fight for your job every day. But Wall is up to the challenge.<br> J. T. is as tough as anyone I ve ever coached, and his attitude is phenomenal, says Van Halanger, who has trained 47 athletes who went on to the NFL and believes Wall has the mindset and physical talent to reach that level.  J. T. set strong goals for himself. One of those goals was to bench 500 pounds, and he achieved that; he wanted to get a scholarship at the University of Georgia, and he earned it; he wanted to start, and he started. J. T. does a heck of a job, and we re very proud of him. <br>Whereas Wall was a frequent ball carrier in high school and at Southwest Baptist, at Georgia his most valuable asset is his ability to block.  J. T. is used more as a blocking back, says Van Halanger.  He s going to block for our tailbacks, and at 253 pounds that s what J. T. does so well - to be able to put his body on a linebacker and knock him back. For example, J. T. was really instrumental in the games where Verron Haynes gained 197 yards against Mississippi and 200-plus yards against Georgia Tech, our biggest rival, because J. T. continued to open those holes. Wall agrees,  That s pretty much my role here, to open up the holes for our tailbacks. But when I get a carry here and there, I try to take advantage of it by making them miss or running over them. <br><br>Dreaming On<br><br>Concerning Wall s goals for next season, Van Halanger says,  I know he really wants to get
