    I went to a Big Ten school and walked on my freshmen year. I was all in too. I wasn’t division 1 LB size so I was rerouted to be a safety, which I never played before, but I was the perfect size and ready for the challenge. They changed me around from FS to SS. Unfortunately I had to keep relearning with little practice repetitions compared to the other players. Asking questions in film room wasn’t the application level I needed either. Had a concussion in practice then got cut due to protocol hold and not being evaluated to retain. Came back the next season, went to LB because they needed depth. Had another concussion which worried me. After awhile realized I wasn’t happy and began to pursue my career. It was an experience I wouldn’t take back - but you know wish things could have been different to a degree. If you’re reading, good luck on your endeavors. Just make sure to stay career oriented because that’s your life. And get that degree (preferably above 3.0).

    I walked on at SC State as a QB a few years back. Made the cut but wasn’t given the opportunity. Did everything right. Beat coaches and scholarship players to the field, ran the plays to perfection, showed initiative. But was still getting treated like a 3rd class citizen. It was definitely messing with me mentally. Ended up leaving to play arena ball which ended up successful. People gotta learn the culture and move accordingly to what’s best for them. You hit the nail right on top of the head with this video.

    As a former "True" walk-on that earned a scholarship (I only got a shot cause a player got hurt and I took his spot). Hardest thing I ever did and that was 10 years ago.
    I became a favorite after a year of scout time and embarrassing the starting O (I use to get heat from the OC but "what you going to do cut me...I'm free labor, I play defense, it is my job to embarrass you")
    My first snap came week 10 on Punt in my Sophomore year (1st year playing football) Had like 4 flags thrown at me for a late hit out of bounds, lol. Almost got pulled and my position coach vouched for me and told me to keep that energy but stay in bounds.
    I hit that dude so hard! For every time they used me as a tackling dummy or gave me names, or looked at me for a sub and went with someone else. HE GOT IT ALL, plus he fumbled.
    The next week they put me on punt return. I blocked a kick for a TD with the FLU.
    Coming into my second year I was a captain on special teams and pushed for the slot corner duties. I got beat out in a very close battle and lost alot of confidence. Block another kick on Special teams but I didn't want to only be a gunner forever.
    I decided to quit my senior year as I wasn't promoted after another season where I didn't win the corner or slot corner spots (I was better and did enough to win) even had scouts that watch practice ask about me as I was tasked with covering TY Hilton (NFL WRs for the colts and pro Bowler) and Greg Ellington (CFL MVP) and still wasn't provided a scholarship at the annual lunch were walk-ons get awarded scholarships.
    I was so mad. My teammate "rest his soul" Kendal Berry told me in such a kind way. "you ain't going no were" me: What you mean? "You can't quit after 3 years of this, you love the game too much"
    I resigned the next day and before I got home the scout team coach was at my house. Talking to my mom. (I didn't believe they cared enough to try and keep me)
    My mom talked me into not quitting and to finish what you start. The 3rd game the DB that beat me 2 years in a row got hurt and I still wasn't given that role had to play behind another player when he got tired. KINDA PISSING me off thinking about it but pete was my boy so I was happy for him. He got roasted in that next game. Took his spot and had 9 tackles and a forced fumble at boundary corner, never looked back after that and a scholarship came in the offseason.
    Walk-on is hard cause you can be better and still never get a shot. You have to do it for more then just the papers...... you have to want to do it just for the love of the game.

    . I want to walk on and play football so bad. I’m freshman at a community college and hope to transfer out this year and have at least 3 years of eligibility. I hope to earn a scholarship so I don’t have to pay for the rest of school, it’s a tough grind. Weight room early morning, school work and working a hard labor job take up my whole day (6Am-10:00PM) so it’s hard to recover and it’s hard to get rest. I’m just simulating the walk on lifestyle to prepare myself if I make it, I just turned 22 and I hope to achieve that dream. This video helped a lot and let’s me know what I need to change throughout my day before work so I just want to show my appreciation after watching this entire thing.

    The colleges I went to really didn’t give the walk ons a real chance. My homie learned the entire playbook, was the first one in last one to leave, got his locker and everything. Then one day mid season coach cut him. He never even got to play in the games. He always showed out in practice and in the scrimmages. Just never got a shot in the season. He wasn’t trash. It’s just they have kids that’s under scholarships so the school not gonna bench a person that has a full ride for a walk on. He has to be beyond talented. It’s not impossible tho. It just takes a little luck, maybe some injuries, and a gracious coach.

Im scared to walk-on because of the reasons you stated but then again I know my abilities and I know I can keep up with the guys on the next lvl. I went up against D1 bounce-back WRs everyday, but like you said coaches have favorites, i can ballout everyday and not see the field (thats nerve-racking).

However, if you don't walk on and choose not to play anymore, it would be the biggest regret of your life, and I'm sure that is not even an option for you. All we can do in life is make the best of the opportunities we have. You watched this video, so you will already be one step ahead and know how to maneuver.

    When you became a walk-on as for dorms since you were a walk-on on the team did you stay in the athlete dorm or did you stay in a dorm with the scholarship athletes

      I would play 1 or 2 years of Juco and then transfer to a D1 School. Instead of being a Walk-On.

    Loved all of it. I just wished you used a mic. My stepson is going to try as a walk on . He had ACL surgery in his senior year. Do you have training videos for him ? He was a DE.

    • @TheWalkOnCoach
      @TheWalkOnCoach  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      😂Yea a mic would have been nice.
      Workout videos are a great idea. I have a lot of drills that develop explosion, speed, and footwork which are key for DEs. I may do some this spring. Hope that is not too late. Weight lifting and football drill videos on youtube should help out for now.

    I think you need to be the biggest and strongest to get given a chance I’m talking about being stronger than every player at your position and you better be hungry number two know the game because let’s be honest those scholar players are kinda sitting easy because they gone play no matter what.

    But is there anyway I can get offers even if am done school like for example rep programs etc.
    i know your thinking this is a long shot but i can promise you i can put in hours and hours in the gym, practice study room to reach this goal, and learn more about this game. right after this I'm about to do a 1 hour hiit session... u motivated me a lot to peruse football

      At this point, You could search for and apply for academic scholarships and grants. Thats what I had to do too.

    If you got a track scholarship would you have a higher chance to walk on a team. Didn’t tyreek hill do that?

      @TheWalkOnCoach  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I believe having a track scholarship will give you an advantage. Coaches will know that you are an athlete already.
