UNIVERSITY PARK - Dave Wollman was only half serious when he suggested a way for discus thrower Margus Hunt to remain at SMU.
Hunt had left his home in Estonia and paid his own tuition for a year to work with SMU women's track coach Wollman, a world-renowned throwing coach, while hoping men's track would return to the school this spring.
By November 2008, it was clear that wasn't going to happen.
Wollman turned to Hunt and said, "What do you think about football?"
Hunt, whose only football experience consisted of playing Madden NFL video games - as the Cowboys, of course - replied, "Let's try it."
So the pair approached Mustangs football coach June Jones to see if he was interested in a 6-7, 280-pound discus record holder who can squat 600 pounds.
After a tryout, Jones extended a scholarship offer.
