Walking on to a D1 program

[Apprentice]

Any bros walk-on D1 in football or basketball?

How was the experience, was it worth it?

Did you get an actual shot to compete with the scholarship players?

I didnt walk on nowhere (i played juco ball) but there's been walk ons who put themselves on by playing well and going hard. You'll probably get a shot on scout team and you can prove yourself there. It's definitely possible to earn a scholarship after walking on.

Its not worth it, especially if you are not at school for sports.


If your experience is anything like mine, youll get seriously injured and quit

Was your boy nice and politics was holding bro down or he was really a bench talent?

Depends on what position you play.

You have more of a chance of getting some playing time if you are on the O line, d line, or a defense back

I was recruited to play bball so I cant answer your question 100% but walk ons have the same responsibilities as scholarship athletes. 2 walk ons were put on scholarship by their jr/sr yr...they loved I but they also loved the sport and knew their role

He real live one of the hardest working people i ever met. It was prolly more politics than anything. But he Is like 5’7-5’8 so they had a semi legitimate excuse.

Wanted to but I guess fate and me not doing research made me not do it. I went to UTA for a semester but realized they had no football team. By the time I transferred to UH my passion for the sport was gone.
