How a 5-foot-8 walk-on landed at Georgia, became a cult hero and earned the nickname Waffle House

Georgia walk-on Mekhi Mews has been arguably the No. 1 Bulldogs ' most explosive player.

The 5-foot-8 wide receiver has returned a punt 69 yards for a touchdown in two games.

Mews' teammates have been raving about him since last season .

Coach Jason Thompson : "Everyone was worried about how short he was. You can't fudge that".

Mews played his first two seasons at Grayson High School , a powerhouse program in suburban Atlanta .

Mews appeared in only a handful of games as a sophomore because of a torn hamstring.

He broke his collarbone in his junior season at Central Gwinnett in 2020 , missed several games.

Olivet Nazarene University , an NAIA program in Illinois , was the only team that offered Mews a full scholarship.
