The habit gets a new name.

Will Straton’s determination to make the Oregon Ducks team led him to spy on his own team’s practices. He’d hide in the bushes, take notes, and study the defensive scheme. His creative plan eventually caught the attention of coach Dan Lanning, who was impressed by his go-getter attitude. Straton’s story is a testament to the power of hard work and dedication. Or, you know, just really wanting to be on the team.

Straton’s actions were seen as a positive by Lanning, who appreciated his initiative. The linebacker has since become a leader on the team and a production leader during spring practices.

It’s not every day that someone gets to join their dream team by sneaking around and taking notes. But hey, it worked for Straton.

And that’s a wrap.
