In this video, I explain my story with trying to walk on NC State's football team. I share everything I learned about the process and how to most effectively walk-on any college football team.
FOR ALL OF YOU FEELING DOWN AND GETTING THE FEEL IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL AS A WALKON, REMEMBER THAT ANTONIO BROWN AND BAKER MAYFIELD BOTH WERE WALKONS
I believe Clay Mathews was a walk on as well
JJ watt
Isaac Boaz yeah but he’s A Mathews it’s not the same for anyone else lol.
Nathan Girsberger this comment didn’t age well in the case of those 2 players
ElitE_ Kaidono AB is a hall of famer and baker Mayfield has the rookie Td record
I love the fact that Christian Mccaffery is destroying the white guys not not being able to play RB stereotypes. Hope his NFL career is great
White guys still can’t play corner in 2018
NE Sniping Actually his running back skills is not that good it's his catching out of the backfield that makes him decent.
MrDownWithTheSouth he just had a 184 yard game running only
I was thinking Christian Mccaffery is white and he is a good running back
thats one player
I just finished my last season and NCAA eligibility, but I started as a walk on, by the end of my sophomore year I got offered a scholarship, but I transferred to a better team that competes for conference championships, so it worked out by here's the truth about walking on in college.... You might be better than other players but you have to understand players that recruited are promised things. In there scholarship the coach pretty much promises to play them, so even if they are garbage and as a walk on your better than someone on scholly, they will still play over you.... There is SOOOO many politics in college football, like what area or high school you went too, the color of your skin.... you have to make the coaches feel stupid for not playing you if you want any chance of playing. You have to kick everybody on scholarships ass EVERYDAY which is hard as fuck. One mess up in practice can destroy everything you worked for. Being a walk on is stressful as hell, as a walk on you have to be perfect every practice for months, then improve in the weight room and work 100x harder than every one in spring.... it's possible, I did it. But I'll be the first to tell you... it's hard and stressful as hell
Nick Guardiola 100% correct on everything! I walked on and eventually became a scholarship captain.
I know for a fact that because I was from California I had an advantage over the other walk on try out players.
This is very very VERY accurate.
caliaggie that's dope Brodie! Good shit. 👍🏼
Aaron Reed yeah man it's a full time job with no days off
Favoritism is what did it for me, in high school all the coaches never gave anyone else a chance besides the starters from the last season or
If they had known them before they played for the school
Yep, and it sucks for new comers.
Saaaame. It was fucking bullshit.
Through middle school to freshman all my different schools coaches showed favoritism to their sons or their sons friends or their friends sons made me quit freshman year kinda regret it
Here's my story, I'm 24 years old, in high school I had just about every school in the nation wanting me but I ended up getting hurt couldn't play my SR year. Anyways I went to a college took classes, worked, etc and now those few years down the road I'm 24 years old I walked on at a D1 school, made the team now starting. Also I'm a freshman football wise. School wise I'm almost done. So whatever you put YOUR mind to you can do. Just work hArd grind and go eat. Don't listen to what anyone says. It's all about what you do, if you aren't pissed off for greatness than you aren't going to reach your potential. Do it! Period.
What school?
@@Mathias3279 Lol this dude is definetly lying.
If you were really a starting RB at a D1 school at 24 years old we'd know who you are. That would get plenty of attention even if it was FCS. Unless you went to BYU or something.
Hella cap in this comment tbh. D1 walk-on starter after a huge injury? Yeah and I'm tom brady
The hardest part of my walk-on was getting to eat at the training table. I had no money and completed every bit of the training, practices and meetings with the rest of the team. It wasn't until my junior year I won the starting job that some players insist to the managers I could join the table without scholarship. Thanks to them I could get a decent meal other than the ramen garbage I lived on.
"You will never make it to the NFL if you didn't play college ball" Not true. Uncommon, yes, but not impossible
Aleks yes undrafted free agents
It’s impossible
@@carlosfloreskingtoro it's not impossible if a nfl team sees you play and sees you're good and got talent they will take you in not everyone but the rare really talented people
Juju the WR from the steelers.
@@carlosfloreskingtoro actually its not because turns out that the NFL have tryouts
"Your white, you cant play running back"... Christian McCaffrey?
yeah whoever the coach was who said that is a fucking idiot and has probably shot down a lot of excellent athletes because of stupid stereotypes. no wonder NC State sucks.
Cody Cesarano i mean, it also doesn’t matter white skin color you have.
Cody Cesarano fat facts
Christian McCaffrey, and..................
Philip Lindsay?
I walked on to a D1 FCS school with the Overall goal to play at the University of Colorado. I knew if I could get on the field and get some college game tape CU would be much more open to giving me a shot. But mainly I didn't pay attention enough in class to have the GPA/ ACT score to get into CU. Anyway I ended up dropping out of College all together do to financial hardship and never went back after my freshman year. I trained every year as if I was going to return but never did. I'm 5'11, 195-200lbs back then ran a 4.6 40, had quick feet and looked like a football player. Played running back in high school and split time on the scout team at the position at the college level even though I was moved to receiver. I was a good football player and I had the attitude to back it. I turned down several division 2 partial scholarships. The day I got accepted to the college I went to I started calling the recruiting coordinator and leaving voicemails. I talked to him a few times and kept calling and leaving voicemails. This dude knew me by name and the high school I went to before I ever stepped foot on campus. I was on the team before I ever shook the dudes hand. (Not really but basically) They had a tryout and I was selected with a few other guys. After I left the FCS school I started emailing the recruiting coordinator at CU. I just never was able to pay bills get into school and live my dream. I was an ignorant broke kid too proud to ask for help. The rules I followed... to me number 1 you have to look like a football player, secondly you have to have the attitude like you can play.. third you have to actually be able to play.. and four you can't take no for an answer.. Get real comfortable with the weight room and training. Go out there and get it.. sell yourself. If you're currently in high school, start playing like a fuckin animal watch highlight tapes and reproducing what you see. If this is your dream put it on the line... You will get a shot.
I love the way he rags on NC State, he's completely right though, they're trash.
They really are. And trust me, I get a lot of grief for hating on them since I went there and I live near Raleigh, but with all they put me through I think I have the right to do all the hating I want. Plus they make it easy, haha.
lol they beat FSU
@@snuhzaygaming4627 , Barely
"Usually they're looking for receivers and corners, basic positions." Damn man, that hurts!
www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/future/eligibility-center
Anyone who is seriously considering playing any sport at the NCAA level can find all requirements for eligibility at the link above. Do this as early in your high school career as possible. It is your responsibility as a walk on to have this taken care of well prior to your attending the school If you don't have this information before you even contact the school, it shows a lack of dedication and commitment and puts you at a tremendous disadvantage. This is coming from a parent of a walk on in the SEC.
What's your sons name?
Expanga doesn't even matter the parent is giving good advice. The only question that you got out of that entire information is " what's you're sons name? " jesus Christ 😭😂
Jeff Sone If you only have 14-15 core classes required by your senior year you can complete after graduation
Expanga - His name is Cooper Sone (#61) played LT in High School and has been moved to Center at Arkansas. Will be a redshirt Soph in 2017.
Are you on Hogville.net? I think iv'e seen you around there before.
He got that Homer Simpson stache
" If you take more than 9 credits hours before you transfer to a D1 school" This is what screwed me
I’m a 6’1 210 pound Linebacker going into my senior year and these types of vids really help me out and motivate me because I live in Rhode Island and we don’t get as many big college scouts over here. Thanks a lot for the tips in this video really appreciate it!
Did you get a D1 offer?
Dezro going into my senior year I had interest from many D2s and a few D3 schools. My senior year was gonna be my year to get recognized from a D1 but unfortunately I dislocated my shoulder during the first game and missed the rest of the season due to surgery. I’m in college at my state school rn which is a D1 and I’m waiting for walk on tryouts which have been postponed because of covid. This may have helped me though because I’ve grown to be about 6’1 and a half and now weigh 240 and in better shape! Appreciate the question and the interest!
@@simoncarmona3025 great job man, it's very unfortunate that you got injured in your senior year, I know you will make your team and ball out!
@@simoncarmona3025 I am currently going into football for the first time and I am a junior, I have been working, and I am currently assigned linebacker, I'm 6'2 and weigh 210, my dream is to get a d1 offer. Do you think that would be possible if I try my hardest and play to my max potential?
Dezro appreciate it a ton fam!
minimum SAT score of 1800. MINIMUM SAT SCORE OF 1800!!! u can get into harvard with a SAT score like that
This was most likely when the SAT was on a different scale😂
The NCAA clearing house is a pain in the ass. They make it so hard to play, a lot of people I know were partial qualifiers, some kids were partial or non qualifiers because they didn't take 4 math classes in high school? the good thing about that is if you keep your grades up for a year you'll be qualified the next year.
Hey guys, thanks for the input. Since I first asked, my son is now 6' 205 lbs. He's been hitting the weight room and even wrestled this year at 195lbs class. He's running a 5.0 40 but I'm hoping as he grows into his body and gets stronger that his time will also become quicker.
this is great, im a sophmore in highschool and looking into my future, watching this video helps me prepare and i have time so this is great
I dreamt of being able to walk on at Ole Miss or Tennessee after my ACL injury. But the injury was worse than originally imagined. So congratulations to those young men who go out there as walk ons and make the team. You guys are an inspiration. Never let anyone say you can't do it. Dare to dream.
Bro, if you can play the game and play it well, and have at least a C average, you'd be welcome on my team. Football has become too bureaucratic. You could be the best guy there and be disqualified over some bullshit conference or NCAA rule.🙄
I joined the military straight out of high school. I know your 5 year clock is put on hold if you join the armed forces. But I am taking online classes while I am in the military. Does that make me ineligible?
THIS GUY SAID U CANT BE WHITE TO BE A RB
doesn’t matter about race long as u r passionate as fuck it’s possible
Keep striving to ur goals I believe in you
Not corner
I’m trying out for Rutgers I’m a few years, thanks for he help!
No problem, good luck!
Watched this video many times and was surprised to hear that you tried out at NC State, as that’s where I always wanted to go (and do now) I played all through high school with no D1 offers and recently went to the walk on tryout and made the team! Glad we aren’t trash anymore too
That's awesome man, glad you made it.
what if you never played highschool football due to injury then transferring to a different highschool that same year? ive read online that its possible to play for a college team without high school experience. but when i asked my community college coach he told me i couldn't because i have no film. does it vary on what school you go to?
You got injured for 4 yrs?
Just keep on grinding
Everyone in this comment section wanna walk on and make a name of themselves. Just keep grinding for this
Just grind bro I’m training to walk on with no high school film also just put in the work and thing will fall in place trust me
Most people dont under stand the "eligibility clock" either. The common misconception is that your clock starts when you start the sport(practice/etc) THIS IS NOT COMPLETELY TRUE FOR ALL LEVELS OF THE NCAA. For D2/D3 there's a 10 semester rule that you have only your first 10 semesters to play STARTING FROM DAY 1 OF COLLEGE. Maybe these rules dont apply to d1 sports, maybe at that level the clock starts when you start like everyone believes.
So lets assume you spent 2 years at a d1 level college and transferred to a d2/d3 school. Your clock subtracts the 2 years worth of semesters and you only have 2 years of eligibility. Lets say you finished your undergrad and decided to play in grad school, for d2/d3 you're basically out of luck.
I hope this helps.
You’re a good person thank you
Thanks bro
I want to walk on at my local state university, I have some D3 Offers and 1 D2 but playing for a D1 Program is my dream. Any advice for contacting coaches?
I played 4 seasons at the D1 level at UNLV. Was a preferred walkon and earned a scholly. There are three ways to make a college team. (1) Get a scholly; (2) be a preferred walk-on; (3) actually try out. Everyone knows about the first way. You need film and have to big enough and good enough for a school to offer you. The third way everyone knows about. YOu don't need that much film, if any, to walk on with a real tryout. Problem with the try out path is only 2-3 people make the team, and you get on for spring practice. Once there for spring ball, you are on every scout team and get the shit beat out of you. We used to smack around the walk ons that had their tryout. The second way is when you are being recruited from high school, you have the size and skill, but not as much film. The coaches invite you to training camp in the fall as a member of the team and you are there without a tryout. You just have to earn a scholarship by performing on the field.
Aaron Reed ya but what if one of the tryouts are not getting beat up by starters and are actually competing with them?
Niggas go to UNLV for shoes and free cause it's definitely not to win.
What if you have 0 film?
hey David, I'm new to your channel. I'm 17 years old. I run a 4.5 40 time, weigh 170 and I'm 5'9.I played football as a RB and want to be one in college. I consider myself a good player and I think I have what it takes to play at the next level. obviously weight is an issue as of right now. I have been lifting a lot more and putting on the right weight before I consider a walk on. like you, I desire to be in the NFL but I have a few questions. In terms of stats, what weight and 40 time should I have to have to get noticed? When is a good time in the year to walk on? do you think my height is an issue? btw I'm not white, haha. plz reply! i enjoy your content and just subscribed to your channel!
Jordan are you black?
Jordan
Jordan play well & have good grades
...I'm white can I still be a RB?
Jordan put on some weight
be good in high school is a super easy way to get in to college.
how tf did this kid graduate at 16
It's not that hard when you're home schooled. In a class setting you only learn at the speed the majority of the class learns, whereas when you're studying on your own you aren't hindered by anyone else. Think about all the times you already knew what the teacher was talking about but you still had to sit through an hour long class. It adds up to years of wasted time.
ccoolin cc for real
I did wasn't really that hard when you start school early
ccoolin cc kids do it all the time. High school is incredibly easy.
Alot of this doesn't add up. Colleges like walkons because they are free fresh meat for the hamburger team.
I just got out of my freshman season and am finishing my freshman fall semester at an NAIA school and I am transferring to an NCAA D1 school for my freshman spring semester. I have good grades and ACT and have already been accepted to one of the schools im am considering walking onto. Is there anything eligibility-wise that I should be concerned about?
Can I still make college even though Im from europe and Im already 20 years old ??
K
Wont make it in the NFL at 30...
Anthony Quintanilla might wanna do your research a couple guys have already and Brandon Weeden came in at 28
Victor Dunson couple guys doesn't give you a chance and they Brandon sucks and was 28...
no
I'm Irish and I've been playing ball in Dublin, I'm thinking of going to college in the states and my grades are very good, am I eligible
Life is hard unless u really prepared
Graduating high school at 16 is tragic, unless u are a freak athlete, u won't be playing college football at age 16 or 17, like I'm 18 as a senior in high school lol
Moses Skjei that's my situation and it trust me it sucks because I'll never know my full potential
same thing happened to me at university of Memphis. Now I play D2 at Clark Atlanta University
brandon52294 what happened bro? I’m thinking about playing there to
I wish RUclips existed when I was in High School all my Football Highlights is on VHS
I have a question...how are you gonna go to the try outs without a schedule ? Like how many months before the try outs do you have to ask for the try outs before you have a schedule?
Good points! My son is LB at 14. He's playing varsity and he's 5'11" and 200 lbs. What's a good 40 time for him? BTW that's a cool shirt!
Get his weight down to 190 lean muscle or 200 lean muscle but 4.5-5 is good for someone his size
That's good, I'm 19 walking on at Liberty university for LB he's the same weight as me but most coaches look at his performance and strength
Good 40 time for linebackers(depending if he's inside or outside linebacker) inside LB- 4.7 or faster outside- 4.6/4.5 or faster
yo i went to lu last year i loved. Transfered to a juco for baseball this year though.
Thanks! At 14 I wouldn't expect him to be that fast. If he's running a 5.0sec 40 or faster that is good for his age and size.
I'm 6'3 310lbs and all I have to do was show up to practice and made it
Rafael Cisneros I’m 5’ 10 and 204lbs is that fine and I never played in a football team so I’ll basically just tryout will I have a chance on the team for a community college
Came across your channel and I love it. A combination of football and lifting, two things I love. Subscribed immediately.
You're right about what you said they decide on. It's annoying because the 40 yard dash is pointless for most positions lol I have friends including myself that have perfect field speed but less than elite 40s but it 100% doesn't effect on field performance for us. I run down wr's with top 40's when mine sucks lol
see now this is crazy.. I was looking up videos on how it is like to walk on D1. I am a D3 football player (6'1 155) but I am transferring to.. NC STATE! I am trying to walk on because I don't want to let my dreams die just yet.
Yo,how it go?
Thanks uncle rico
No hay problema, hombrecito.
My problem is that my mom won’t let me play highschool ball
Guys I will tell you all of this is completely true. I walked on coastal Carolina. I was 6'0 220 and tried out for linebacker and made the team but got cut right before the fall. I tried out again for running back and made the team and ended up playing a lot. It all depends on how you fall in the depth chart and a lottttttttt of politics involved with the game. If you dont make a team, do not be discouraged. Half of the time it is politics involved with making the team. The varsity flag football team I played with at the university, some of those guys were way better some of the guys that were on the main roster
I just saw this comment. I’m transferring into coastal Carolina for the spring. Have been going to tech because of high school grades. Can i message you for more info about your experience? I’m looking to tryout for them in the spring.
I feel like you're an exception because you went to college so early at just 16 years old instead of 18 like most high school seniors. I walked on at my college (missouri state, and yes i made the team) and faced really no problems when it came to eligibility.
Btw. I would not classify myself as a great athlete by any means, but if you show you know what you're doing and do everything at 100% (even a short sprint back to the line) that will make you a lot more desirable.
I think I must have done a bad job at communicating this in the video, but the reason I had eligibility issues is because I was home schooled and went to a juco college first. Not a traditional route to college. I put all my focus on learning the game and performance metrics so I was in great shape when I got to State but that didn't matter. Also, Chad Jamison the recruiter told me if I was at State than I would be eligible because the school's academic standards are much higher than the NCAA's. If he hadn't told me that I likely would have put a lot more time and effort into making sure I was eligible, which is the main reason I have so much disdain for NCSU.
Thank you I'm a incoming freshman now I know what to do if I ever walk on thx 😌🏈🙏🏾
I walked on the field way back in Kansas. I had a lot of issues because I was out of state!!! I ended up getting a semi scholarship and was second string LB. found out I was playing and still paying a lot of cash to the school. I told my dad I wanted to finish my senior year in state to take some of the headaches away. Guess I was right he was wrong!!!
I started my clock without even knowing that once you go full time
It starts . Regardless if you’re an athlete or not . So when after i played juco and it was almost time to transfer , all this information that my d1 clock would be up hit out of no where . I️ wasn’t playing football for the first year or so. D2 is easier cause you can start and stop your clock
Best way to deal with this stuff is trust (GOD)
This is helpful, I want to play football (im a freshman) and everyone in my highschool who play football are the cocky jocks who think their high tier because their dad played in highschool and I just don’t want that drama lol
How did you try out for the team? Did you have to contact the coach? Or is there somewhere you go to sign up?
Hey i know this is 3 years later but I'm wondering if i can walk on to a different college's team if i go to a college that has no football team
I'm 99% sure you can't play for a school if you aren't enrolled there
That sucks fuck, hope you have found balance with this life changing experience
I've found other things to pursue so I'm mostly over it at this point. Only a little bitter now lol
Maybe they didn't like you and didn't want you on the team. You could have rubbed them the wrong way.
Sean Ogrady yeah being homeschooled will definitely do that
Hey man I'm in a different situation looking to walk on somewhere. I'm wanting to walk-on as a grad student, do you think this process would be much different?
Did you play football in highschool too? I was homeschooled as well and homeschooled kids weren't allowed on public school teams until the year after i graduated... I went to public school For my 9th grade year and played football and alternated between RB/WR/CB. I was looking at going to a walk on tryout next year when I go into my 4 year university after getting my associates degree at a community college. I'm only 5'8" and 155lbs right now. I was really good at CB my freshman year, but because of my size, they had me at RB more than anything. I'm a little short to be a CB or WR, but do you think I'm a decent size for a RB? When I played freshman year, I was only 5'1", 120lbs. Thanks, Joey
Also I'm a white guy, so I might be denied the position before I even tryout. Haha. (That's BS btw that they told you that. There are countless white guys who are awesome running backs. Id say the moron didn't know what he was talking about)
Yeah... I wasn't a very big kid. My whole family is really short
Freshman in highschool
Joey Fisher word
Never even occurred to me that eligibility rules would be a factor. Thought this would be for JUCO transfers and other countries.
Pretty simple to me. Transfer to a college outside of the ACC. Preferably a Independent.
This is great advice 👌🏾
Glad you liked it!
I'm a freshman in college and im 6'3 220 and my 40 is about 4.56 I have a 34 inch vertical and my best trait is my hands. They are 11 inches. I did not play football in high school cause I tried out as a freshman and I was fat and out of shape so my coach made fun of me. I got in amazing shape in junior year but didn't play to spite my coach. Will an ok d1 team even look at me?
If the stats you gave are correct then yes, those are pretty great numbers. I would just encourage you to train as hard in the gym and on the field as you can. I think you could get on a team with where you are now and definitely if you improve a little bit. Just make sure you're eligible to play.
+David Duncan so if I didn't play high school ball they would fine with it?
As a walk-on, probably. I wouldn't tell them you didn't play though.
thanks for the advice ill let you know if i make it
+Chris Tortoriello I pray you make it.
Basicly the same thing happened to my brother, except he was academically eligible.
Definitely gonna grind in the weight room and get myself in fighting shape to try out for OSU when they hold theirs and a few other Ohio colleges and maybe Pitt or something not sure but I feel my size helps me especially since I’d be a lineman
I really wanna play football at any level even if I have to walk on but I feel like I won’t even be able to walk on because I am not strong enough
I was a college football walk-on and I did a scholarship! D2 and naia is a good place
Why ? Why would you wanna help me ? 19 year old about to be 20 soon , high school drop out went to like 6 high schools (two alternative schools) before my 11th grade that I didn't even finish .. never played a full season of any sport due to grades and attitude. Ha , I never finished a game because I was always getting ejected for fighting . I never took disrespect and i always wanted to be the best , when I was on that field I felt my 5'6 , 130lb self was the best. I wasn't gonna let anybody catch on me and I was gonna return any ball kicked to me . All I ever wanted to do as a kid growing up and be in the military or play sports or have something to do with sports .. my only love was balls (no homo) any sport I can play and know I'm good at . No ones gonna bet me and that's jus always been my attitude. But i do have a temper and some angers issues, a lot man , one of the reasons I don't even try studying for that ASVAB anymore because Ima jus keep failing the shit . And I ain't going army soooo hah .. and can't do marines anymore because of my tattoos lol . I jus miss football so much man , people counting on me and cheering me on to do great .. now I all do is take out trash 8-5 for $8.50 an hour ... but when it comes to sports it's never been about money or fam for me , always jus winning and playing for a brotherhood , school , or community making people proud and being remembered. For either making a good play or ripping a kids helmet off and landing some punches.. ill play any sport anywhere and give it my all , I'll die or hurt my self proving I can play with any one .. don't got no game film , no couches feedback no nothin .. all i got is heart and I'll give 150% of it if someone gives me a chance to get the f out my mommas house and make her proud for the first time ever ... tired of people telling me I can't do it , or do anything else . Because I gotta be somebody in life man
I'm a 230 pound 6'0-6'1 center/guard in high school football(15 years old) I have played pretty good and play up for my senior team I also play for a provincial team (in Canada).
Do you think I have a chance?
You're big enough, just make sure you get as fast and strong as you can and keep learning the intricacies of your position.
+David Duncan thanks
Thanks for the advice. I'm starting my senior year, but because of an injury, I am unable to actually play. I have no film from Junior year, so most likely I'll have to take the Walk On route. I'm 16 (I know I'm young, I skipped a grade), 5'7 190 (still growing, so there's no telling how big I'll be come next year) but don't really know my 40. What would you suggest be a good 40 time? Also, will not having any film available too negatively impact me?
If you're walking on no film is ok, your 40 time will depend on what position you play. What do you play?
David Duncan RB
You could probably walk on if you run a 4.6 or better but it would be best if you could get it at or below a 4.55 if you want to play on a D1 level.
So it's me again. I will be attending NU, and was wondering when and how frequently it is a good time to contact the coaches. I was thinking around a month before I enroll (late August) and about once a week from then on; however I was told that I should contact the coaches as early as now, and contact him about every 2 weeks to keep him posted. What do you suggest.
Also, who would be better to contact? The head coach, or the RB Coach (who's also the head of recruiting), or both? Thanks.
John Doe hey bro i know its been 2 years but how it go? I’m at a Juco right now, a year removed from my senior year of high school and i plan on transferring to University of Wisconsin this fall to walk on. Any advice? I been trying to contact coaches and recruiting assistants but no response yet. I also didn’t play this year with my Juco team due to team’s structure overall. I also think thats a good thing I didn’t play this past season due to me being fresh but it also could hurt due to rust. But yeah if you could give me some advice, tell me how your journey went, and where you’re are now I’d greatly appreciate it bro
I walked on at Troy, you’re delivering the right message bro💯 keep it up
AJ Make That’s where I want to walk-on
I'm 15 and I live in London I already play but even div 2 looks hard
I’m trying to walk on Detroit Mercy’s lacrosse team
i really regret not playing football in high school. im a gym rat run a lot but i want to play football in college. i have no experience, its a far stretch, but i want to try. i want to give it my all and want to at least try.
I’m a junior and haven’t seen the field yet and think I might have to walk on.
Go for it, if you're good you'll probably make it
You don’t just think you deserve a scholarship it’s how they view you and if they think you deserve a scholarship.
Can you be eligible if you do not have a high school diploma but a G.E.D. ?
Chris Walker community college
I’m 15 and skinny but my dream is to play football and I wanna know if it’s too late

Bro thank you so much for this video
the politics..of this world..I swear..smdh
Would it be different if you are from the UK? Im thinking of walking on but I could try to get a scholarship from the GB team could that work?
JordanFro i didnt know there was a GB team?
JordanFro it would be way harder
JordanFro I'm thinking of trying to get a scholarship to a d1 team in a few years, or if that doesn't work then walk on. you can walk on, just like clay Matthews and Jordi Nelson did. menelik Watson is from Manchester and only played 20 odd games before getting drafted. you can walk on and be great if you're determined
JordanFro yea be a kicker. white people(american) suck at that real bad
JordanFro where in the UK are you from? just curious cos I'm gonna try make the GB team too
Can I Play For a college team if I never played in highschool?
I've never played football by my 40 without cleats is a 4.68 and my squat is 550, bench 350, deadlift 590. Do you think I can get any attention from coaches?
Those are great numbers, so yes, but keep in mind even if you're extremely athletic you will get burned if you don't develop actually football skills. Also, don't tell coaches you don't have experience, just develop the skills now and don't mention it.
David Duncan thank you so much. How can i work on developing football skills when I don’t have a team to work with right now?
Matthew Jones you might have to work on your own on the field or contact some players that play for the team to train with you
David do you think I can walk onto a D3 without any high school film?
Yes, if you're good enough to play then definitely.
Bro D3 is nerds playing football
You don't even need film for a d3 😂
Easily. D3 isnt even ran through the NCAA so all the regulations he was talking bout has nothing to do with you
There are D3 teams that can absolutely steamroll D2 teams. The division isn’t necessarily a rank of how good the team it, it’s how much money the college chooses to invest in the sport
how in the hell do you graduate high school at 16 LIKE BRUH!!!!!
Ok so lots on info. Do you have like a bullet point of everything you need to be eligible and to walk on/try out?
My son is HS Senior. He’s a wide receiver. No film from his Junior year because of an injury. Trying to get some this year.
He’s 6’4” 180 (lean and ripped) Pretty fast. Runs the 40 under 4.6. Vertical is about a 36 (don’t even know if that matters)
I don’t know if we should go for a D3 school or go for a D1?? When does this process start?
Thank you for all of your help!
Do you think I'd be able to walk on at Rutgers with no film?
I'm a senior and I've already taken my sat. I'll possibly have to go to a junior college first due do my high school gpa. What would happen from there?
+RuneGazer Your going to have to play for the junior college for a year or two and get your gpa up and get some film to earn a scholarship
+RuneGazer if ur not good enough (not saying your not) if u get your gpa up u can walk on to a d1 or d2 team next year
RuneGazer absolutely not they are a big 10 team
RuneGazer it's Rutgers.... so yea....
Hey David I'm completely serious about transferring to from my Division 2 school which I was recruited with scholarship money to the D1 school down the street. The D1 in question is the University of Minnesota which we all know is part of the Big 10. Are there any specific things I need to know so I can remain eligible to play?
First of all, great video as usual. I am in a similar situation. I took a “CIS”, College in the Schools, class this year (Junior Year). I had to enroll at a community college here in town. I have yet to take an ACT/SAT as it was cancelled, and I am taking a year of college for my Senior Year. Will what happened to you happen to me? Thanks
I'm a guard/left tackle. do I have any chance of making the team? I'm planning to be a walk-on from belgium. So do I have to be a US citizen to be elligeble?
karan patel nope.. u can walk on still
karan patel just check the schools requirements, if you're accepted to the school and you're in talks with the coaching staff (try to sign papers for records) then you'll be fine
I’ve never played a game a day in my life...still gonna try out tho
I'm a rugby player from South Africa still in high school though but I wanna come over to the USA and try it out any suggestions on what I should do when it comes to trying nfl out
Is there any way for me to play college ball if I started a program called running start which lets me take college classes for two years to get my AA degree and diploma at the same time? I've read up on all the comments to try and figure it out myself, but there isn't enough information for me to know about my situation. I have also read up on NCAA requirements for this. But they all just mention graduating high school. I'm 17 and half way done with my first year in this program.
If you are still in high school I do not believe that program will start your play clock. I would still call the NCAA to confirm that, though.
Thank you! I'm contacting them and my local high school coach
Hi I'm a junior in high school and I am a kicker what kind of stuff do I do to get a colleges attention like tape of me just kicking field goals? And how long should my field goal range be for d1 or d2 college?
Jdhbph try to go to the kohl's kicking camp
Tommy Glodo thanks
Jdhbph go to kicking camps
Being a kicker for d1 is harder to make since they don't use as many
what happens if ive studied through highschool overseas but still played in a league?
Did any one get pissed off by the light switch in the corner
Square Pants nope but now I am thanks sir
That is what I had to do to play for JSU. helpful
This is what he don't understand I'm trying to get through that stick skull of his you can not call a school trash if you didn't get recruited by them or you mad because, they didn't want you or need you at the time I bet you won't go In front of NC state player and call their program trash because they will probably knock yo ass into next week 4-3 isn't bad I mean look who they played really good teams ACC is a power 5 conference. "YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO WHAT NC STATE PLAYERS DO EVEN ON THEIR WORST DAY, SO WHO'S REALLY TRASH"?
First of all, start getting someone to proofread what you write before you post it. It's difficult to understand you with all of your typos. Secondly, I did make it on their team only to be told 2-weeks later by their compliance department that I wasn't qualified to play through the NCAA. And you can't just randomly decide how good I am. I will bet you $1000 cash right now that you can't find a CB on that team that can keep me under 70% receiving on them. Seriously though, if you're so attached to NC State hit up some of the players and tell them they have an opportunity to make some money.
