I can send some advice - message me on IG @clayrat

that's awesome!! Was with him for a year or so there

there's some military freshman out there that come in after they serve and can be really any age, but I met someone 26 yo technically as a freshman. Very rare circumstances though, most freshman are in there at 17,18

@@clayraterman I appreciate your response man! Good luck on your goals

Love it !! Keep working toward your goals !

Yessir!! Thanks for listening

I replied in other video

@@clayraterman thanks for your feedback man 🙌🏽 !! I gave you a reply back.

If you're quitting hs football it means you probably don't like football that much, in which case college football is not going to be very realistic. It gets much more serious, less fun, and way harder in college. You probably like the idea of being a football player and what comes with it more than you actually like playing football. But that's up for you to figure out!

@@clayraterman I will definitely see. I’ve loved playing the sport, but basketball had my heart and I put my all into it, I just played football for the fun and love of it. I’ve only considered taking it serious, because I keep getting asked to play football and because I see myself in sports. What you said though is indeed true, but would trying to see if I want to go for it with semi-pro be a good option to see if I would have/build a genuine love for the game and maybe do ufl ??

try harder to get a scholarship for academics or work a hard construction job to pay for school if you have no other sellable skills. I did pipefitting in highschool

Probably a bit different yes! This is for D1

Thank you!!! Much love :D

might have to do one soon :D

it was at ohio state yes

Don’t even reply, my dumbass is gonna tryout anyway tbh

@@PodCastWrld2.0 try it

the grind!

he did make it but not selected for fighters, and yes still good routine!!

no, mainly just kicking...although they prob will still test you and it certainly doesn't hurt to do great

Goodluck my man!!!

Silly questions - as good of numbers as you can get is the only answer lol...there's no set magical numbers. I could tell you to run a 4.6, but what if someone made it with a 5.0 second 40 because of what was needed at the time? There's no rules but If you're looking for averages google average NFL combine times for your position and bump it back a little bit. The real answer is figure out it you want to actually do this or not. Then if yes, train your ass off at all the drills every week, lift, get in good condition, and go do your best. I think most people ask these questions about what number they need to hit bc they either want validation which doesn't matter (the only validation is making the team) or they want an excuse to not go try. So go try, try your best, and actually put in the work to give it a good attempt!

not super familiar w the juco stuff so I can't answer that! ask around and do what you thinks best

Appreciate your response💪🏼

@@RTLarry anytime my friend!

You got it brother

Usually tryouts are the first week of each semester if they have them

@@clayraterman ok I plan on walking on for Kent state

@@clayraterman so it’s not to late when I enroll in college in august ?

Go make it happen brother. I didn't play as a sophomore in HS either. But I worked my ass off and became an all conference / district corner leading state in interceptions by my senior year. So don't think about walking on yet...you have 2 more years of MASSIVE potential for development in HS. The biggest 2. You need to find a way to play where you are now, that's step one. Get in the gym. Talk to the coaches. Specialize in something the team needs and become the BEST in the state at it. Don't run away from where you are right now by thinking of walking on. These next 2 years will determine if you have what it takes to walk on somewhere. Win where your feet are.

haha no bench shirts. And we didn't even do 225 test at my first tryout, although some places may.

It does not unfortunately haha but Fina is much better :).... we hope to support a notion integration at some point in the future though!

I'm not joking when I say this: my whole life was preparation. I played football my whole life and worked out like a maniac 5-6 days a week from 8th grade on (still do) Consistent actions over long long time. specifically for the tryout drills I spent about 3-4 months doing the drills before go time (the summer leading up)

Yes it would be harder of course having never played football. I've seen some soccer players do it before though too. And yeah you can tryout again as long as they have open tryouts

I do not! Plaid has some troubles with certain accounts sometimes. If you're using Fina you can message our support and we can take a deeper look

@@clayraterman it's mainly the crypto accounts that don't work, all the banking and credit cards work fine. I was considering using Fina, however, when setting up my first free connection I wasn't able to find a connection that I was able to make. I wish plaid would fix this haha!

Your 40 is the only thing they really measure and so that's the most important stat. You can get better at the 40 by running it a LOT. Practice your starts specifically. Its hard for people to gain "top end" speed....but you can easily shave a couple tenths off your 40 by simply perfecting your start. Many people don't do that so I'd start there.

@@clayraterman thanks

They have a counselor who will usually help you schedule and get priority spots in classes to fit the schedule. Basically, you don't worry about it till you make the team, then you can switch stuff around.

@@clayraterman aight thanks 👍

nope - got heavy's and ultimately transferred to a diff job down the line!

if you still have eligibility yes...and as a junior you should

@@clayraterman ok cool thanks man. Wish me luck bro 💯

@@JabrenHarris98 goodluck!!

Much love brother!

Crazy what is possible when you believe in yourself!

good luck my man!! go make it happen

@@clayraterman do you have any suggestions for what a running back should be ready for?

@@Eric-u9n everything - it's gonna be like an nfl combine style tryout with position drills at the end most likely

I usually answer here! or Dm me on IG @clayrat

I'm so sorry haha we have switched up a bit; but don't worry!! We are building something even bigger and better now so that will be available in the future. You should try Fina for now and I'll keep you posted on the new features coming

@@clayraterman Day to day budgeting isn’t my main concern right now but the setup you had on notion for pulling in crypto data looked awesome. Hope something like this comes back. I will continue to pull in data on google sheets for now

First week of fall and spring semester (typically aug/sept or January) - I've heard of some other ones that have happened at diff times or before summer as well

Nope you can redshirt

@@clayraterman Good to know. I’m currently playing JUCO, and I plan to transfer into some university by the following Spring semester. I’ll w you on more in the future.

I don't deal well with silly hypotheticals haha but if the question is "is someone who's a walkon at Ohio State good enough to start elsewhere", then probably yes, but it also totally depends on the person and a million other factors. For me personally, I would've never wanted to play at a smaller school so it never would have been in the cards.

@@clayraterman I totally get that. I’m playing JUCO ball in Nor CA rn, but I’ve been considering the walk on route to school like Nebraska, Oregon, ASU, or Georgia. Almost all of these school sound out of my league, but like you, I don’t wanna grow up having regrets about what level of competition I played for. I personally would rather fail at playing the highest level of CFB than have regrets at the lowest. I’m on schedule to graduate in Fall 23’, but I also could change that to Spring 24’. I’m going to walk on at at least one of these school by that point in time. So I’ll leave you updated on how that goes. Thanks Clay. 💯 -Stephen

The only feedback I have is: Goodluck & get after it!!

did you make it?

yoo!!

@@clayraterman what size are those gloves and what position do you play?

@@lilmoney13210 Large and Safety!

@@clayraterman how many pairs of gloves do you have?
