Badass of the Week: Tom Walter

LoCA proudly introduces the first Badass of the Week award: Wake Forest's head baseball coach Tom Walter.

As a high school senior in Columbus, Ga., WFU-bound Kevin Jordan had a difficult time bouncing back from the flu and lost 20 pounds before doctors discovered that his kidney was functioning at only 15%.

By the time he was enrolled at Wake Forest, kidney failure became a strong possibility. After various blood tests within his immediate family determined that there was no match, Walter stepped in.

After taking a blood test on Jan. 28th, it was determined that Walter was indeed a match. The transplant took place that Monday and as of now, both Walter and Jordan are beginning their 6 month recovery.

Respect.
