On The Team

My brother wants to play football at university of houston but hasnt gotten a scholarship so he has no choice but to walk on. He is 6′1 230lbs. benches 295 and runs a 4.9
He played Tight end.

So my main ? is…what is it like walking on and what takes place during the walk on try outs?

How does it all work?

Your brother’s chances of playing college football depends on his performance in football during his senior year of high school. If your brother performs very well in football during his senior year of high school, he will greatly improve his chances of walking on or even getting recruited for a scholarship to play for a college football program.

If your brother does not get a scholarship, he has the option to walk on to a college football program. How this thing works is that a college football team can have up to 105 players total, with 85 of them being scholarship athletes. Therefore, there is enough space for 20 walk on players to make it on a college football team.

   honestly if he is any good it will be a breeze…. teams hold try outs early in the spring which mainly consist of running drills and a scrimmage game…. a friend of mine walked onto FAMU and another to USF and i plan to try to walk on to Tennessee or FSU(depends on what i decide to study) when i get out of the army.
