Due to his head coach telling universities not to recruit Ernest as well as hide his letters, it made the journey more difficult but Ernest prevailed to became a D1 student-athlete as walk on. Ernest went on to play for the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Tennessee. Fast forward, Ernest graduated with a Bachelors degree, became a Big 12 Champion, and went on to become a professional football player.
