Kansas senior punter Cole Moos thought that he was being chosen for a karaoke segment when he and three other Jayhawks were singled out on Kauffman Stadium's video board during the team's outing at Friday night's Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Indians game.
Moos never got to show off his pipes though. Instead, he and three other former walk-ons — Mazin Aql, Beau Lawrence and Reese Randall — were surprised with scholarships in front of a crowd of nearly 36,000.
This will make your day.

While it was clear none of the four recipients had any idea of what was coming, their teammates were quick to provide congratulatory hugs and high-fives.
MORE SCHOLARSHIP SURPRISES: Indiana | Georgia Tech | Notre Dame | Bowling Green
Hear from a couple of the Jayhawks below, as they describe their moments of awe:
