A shot, all Bourtol had ever wanted was a shot. When he was a a wee kid in Charleroi stepping into a new world, all he asked from his local travel team was a shot. When he got into the Charleroi Cougars football program, all he wanted was a shot. When he got on the Penn State Nittany Lions as a walk-on, all he wanted was a shot.
Bourtol had chases his shot for all his life, and patience, hard work, determination and an unwavering commitment to his craft would deliver him an opportunity like no other. It was a warm day in September when star studded DT at the time, Harvey Ramsey, would take an awkward fall early in the first quarter. Bourtol wishes nobody injury, but he was handed an opportunity to impress, which he did, pondering some Hamilton verses, I am not throwing away my shot. Coming into a Penn State squad looking to keep their unbeaten run alive, Bourtol would prove to be an absolute nightmare for the opposing QB, recording 13 tackles, 4 of them for losses and 3 sacks
From there on out, that graceful game would live on to become, the game that made him and that would launch him into professional football head first.
