You have definitely helped eased my jitters about getting ready to walk on. I spent a year at a good d3 school and had to get my grades right in the fall. Ill be transferring in the spring. Emu, maryland, umass, Tennessee, marshall are my options. Big schools but I know I have the size skill and ability to compete against the starters. Just trying to prepare and you are definitely putting out info other people arnt. Thank you
There's always this other incredible college sport called Rugby. Especially if you're at a big D1 school, I can almost guarantee you that they have a Rugby team. We have a major league Rugby Union now. We have a National team that plays in the World Cup. We have a 7s team that plays in the Olympics. If you're a good football player that could walk-on, you could be, with some learning and work, a great rugby player.
I'm a Junior in high school who hopes to play for Ohio State. I'm currently in the process of transforming my body into more of a linebacker type as that's what I'd go in as. I used to be awesome, but I haven't been good in a while & I'm really slow. I've lost 37 lbs in a couple months & am working on gaining tons more muscle. I want to shine as much as possible my senior year of high school. I haven't even started in a football game in years, so my aspirations are really high. I'll most likely have to go in as a normal walkon. If not then I may have to go to another school, perform well there & either transfer or stay there if I feel it's best to. I feel like if I end up even being on their roster one day it would be the most unlikely thing to happen, yet I know I can do it. I appreciate this video, & go Bucks! ⭕🏈
I need my son to watch this... he has been recruited by a three D3 schools and I would prefer he play at that level (I want to him to make sure he gets his degree). He wants to try out at a D1 school but I think his size may be a factor (mostly his height) and probably why he did not get any looks from D1 schools.
Tell him to check out the channel! might help out. If what he truly wants to do is play D1 he should try and go the walk on route at his dream school. That way he's at least at his favorite school to get a degree if it doesn't work out with football. On the flip side if all he cares about is football and getting playing time, then maybe a D3 school isn't a bad call. Just encourage him to go after his biggest possible dreams and goals and support him whichever direction he takes it. Only get one shot at life
clay raterman thank you for the information. I will direct him to your page. The D1 school is definitely more of his dream school and the HC is familiar with the football programs in our state. Again, thank you for the info.
haha oh man don't be nervous brother!! Teams need different things at different times, it's always worth going and giving it your best shot. Goodluck my friend!
I currently just decided on being a walk on, just got a coach to train daily and learn the game but in the mean time imma try to earn sum credits at a community and get a lil more money then transfer, nice video man and if u got any extra tips for me that’ll be great!
it’s all ab genetic potential nowadays…. I did my walk on try out and did good every test. 40 was 4.5, shuttle was a 3.9, vert was 40, and broad was 9’5. Didn’t drop one pass and won every one of my one on ones…. but guess what, im a 5’8 so it don’t matter
Not entirely true, lot of other circumstances at play...could also be roster spot situation, etc....I feel your pain though my first tryout felt like this. I made it the next one...
there are a ton of schools where you can go and actually PLAY and get ON THE FIELD and not have been a superstar D1 type of kid in high school... if u are not RECRUITED u most likely wont be playing much... who wants to do all that work and never get to make plays in college??? whats the shame in finding a smaller school where you actually fit??? there are a lot of dudes that are ON THE TEAM but arent actually playing... u got a lot of guys tryna get on rosters to just get gear... take the trips... be around the program... man screw that... i would rather find a D2 or NAIA school where i can fit and make a bigger contribution... AND have them PAY for my education... those guys that get that cinderella scholarship in their FIFTH YEAR are few and far between... them dudes leave school with big debt unless moms and pops can pay outta pocket with no problem... if u arent going to the NFL u shud look at how u are gonna be set up when ur playing days are over... debt... degree... making contacts... work opportunities... as a coach i just shake my head at the "do it for the drip" players... SMH
Totally understand going to a smaller school and aiming to get more playing time or trying to get college paid for! I've spoken about both being great options countless times on my channel so I'm not sure if your questions are directed towards me or are just rhetorical. With that said, I don't know of anyone to make a D1 team and last on it with their reasoning for joining being "doing it for the drip". A lot of players would MUCH rather play for their dream school and have a shot as a walkon and work their way up, then to play ball at a lower division that is not as exciting of program to them (hence why there are tons of walkons at big schools with other lower offers). So it's completely preferential and depends on the athlete and what they are looking to accomplish. Also you can get incredible connections, a great education, academic scholarships, and all of the same opportunities off the field at a big school as you can at a smaller one. The question is really would you rather be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond. Each has their own unique benefits and drawbacks, but one size definitely doesn't fit all in this scenario. Appreciate your opinion though - there's others who feel that way and should pursue that route too!
@@clayraterman not a shot at you... just an observation... bcuz as a coach i always ask "why" when dudes say they "just wanna go D1" or its "D1 or nothing"... USUALLY the answer is duh... or bcuz i just do... or i just wanna be on a big stage... Then they get there and never play... then they come home mad... Some of these guys are alpha type male personalities that just dont have the height weight and speed... So there are definite levels... and the question guys have to be able to answer is "do u wanna be on the team or do u wanna play." Bcuz there is a definite difference... And that isnt really discussed a lot by most folks... Its like the ugly secret that folks wanna keep quiet
@@doclew28 Yeah like I've said before my friends and I who have played at that level have discussed this many times and there's definitely positives and negatives to both. But personally speaking and from tons of my friends experiences, I am way happier I went D1 big school than to a smaller one. Would never change it. However, some people come and transfer out and go smaller for more playing time, it's a totally personal choice. But I wouldn't say it's a big secret that it's hard as shit to play at one of the top schools in the nation. On top of that it that doesn't mean it's not possible to walk on and play either, I've seen lots of people accomplish that with time, skill, and hard work.
@@doclew28 Haha a lot of people are just curious, don't have the guidance, or are looking for some help and inspiration my man! Deploy some empathy and wisdom and you can help guide them
I’m tryna walk on at penn state next winter Ik it’s gonna be hard but I think I’ll stand out. I’m 6’5 190 but I’ve never even stepped on a football field. I only played basketball in high school but I’m pretty athletic. I’m gonna try to bulk up a little before the tryouts too. If you have any advice I’d love to here from you. We’ll see how it goes
I dont know je it's the same in Canada. I want to play college football for my futur university, but I dont want to wait 2 years of training and only be on the bench. I have a good understanding of football and I want to shine. Do you think you can do a video about the mentality you have To have To succed. Because normally the players won't have your back if you're new and you're a walk on ... thanks for the video tho
Yeah thats a good topic - I'll dive into that sometime. Part of that mentality is knowing that even if you HAVE to wait and train for 2 or 3 or even 4 years before you play or shine, you're willing to do so. I'm not saying it won't or can't happen earlier, but the right mindset is being okay working your absolute hardest knowing it may NEVER even happen, that's how you succeed.
I started playing football in my senior year, used to play lacrosse. I’m 6’4 190lb defensive end, a little underweighted but I’m still improving on size and strength. I don’t have many films since it’s my first year and I’m considering walk-on. is it still possible to play in college with little football experience?
Yes it's possible. At a tryout they most likely will just briefly ask you if you played football in high school, they're looking for athletes and how you perform at the tryout in relation to your times on drills etc. Make sure to watch the full video, I talk about these things!
Hey I have a question. Haven’t watched the video yet but saved this one and some others to watch later. A little background before my question. I first played football my freshman year on the defensive line. Didn’t really know much of anything about football before. Then after this year I didn’t play football til my senior year because of personal reasons. Lost a lot of weight though and was about 6’1 almost 6’2 and about 170lbs. Liked football a lot more this year but the personal problem came up a bit towards the end but started to fall in love with the sport anyways. I never thought I would want to play in college and I know that I wasn’t very good when I did play this year, was very physical and when I knew what I was doing could hold my own, but because I don’t really know that much about football, offensive and defensive wise besides some of the stuff I picked up playing LB, I never thought I’d get anywhere. I’m 191lbs now mostly muscle still got a little pouch on my belly but have gotten a lot stronger since this quarantine started. Started about 175lbs. And am now trying to get physically stronger for tryouts. So I guess now my question is, would someone like me who has very little experience, and doesn’t know that much about the game of football be good enough to walk on at a junior college level? I know that’s not a lot of information to go off of but yeah that’s my question for now. If anyone gets back to me on this thank you Oh yeah, I love to be physical and love to hit, am kinda fast I guess but I’m not too sure now, faster than I used to be. But can only bench 225 and can squat 315 only because I had a knee infection from wrestling so I was off my legs for about 3 months. For the positions to try out for I was thinking tight end or linebacker again but leaning towards tight end. Also have a pretty big frame to fill out. And am only 17 at the moment
well watch the video!! haha but again i've given this advice a million times, quit analyzing every little aspect and just go take action. No one is ever going to be able to tell you whether or not its worth it, whether or not you'll make it, if you are good enough, or anything else. You need to make decisions in your life and then start taking action to make your goals happen. If you fail then so be it, but at least you won't be living with the regret of not trying the things you wanted to do deep down. Try to minimize regret in your life and if you have a goal then try to accomplish it! The way you can build the confidence in yourself is by actually going and doing the hard work, keeping promises you made to yourself, being self disciplined, instilling good habits, and improving yourself every week. Start small and start with action. Goodluck my man - you got this!
clay raterman hey man just watched the video. Thanks for all the information. Defiantly helped a lot. And am slowly figuring out what’s important and what to worry/ not worry about. Anyways thank you
Crush it at the tryout and look like you know what you're doing and then learn as you go! It's going to be harder but it's not impossible to still add value to a team in some capacity
I’m 5’11 tryna get to 200-180 use to play dt in high school cause I was around 265-270 so I’m assuming if I go to a d1 school at 5’11 my best shot is corner or rb correct ?
Well it definitely isn't just about your weight...it has a lot to do with your speed and athleticism too. If you're best at a specific position, have played it before, and are the proper weight, that is ideal
Hey man, I really want to play d3 football, I'm 6'2 and I have decent athleticism and played some in high school but I was in injured. Also in my first year of college. Do you think that it's a realistic goal to have?
who cares if it's realistic? if you have a goal, go make it happen For me personally, people who have realistic expectations get realistic outcomes in life. If you want an extraordinary life, you gotta aim big...but you also have to do the work to become the person that can actually achieve that outcome
I would like to play college football as a quarterback but I am not tall at all. Would a great physique and outstanding skills and abilities make up for this?
Dam it’s gonna be harder for me my coach in high school never gave me a shot in high school and I was better than the starter on the team and I never got my shot to play a game. And I want to be a walk on because i know I’m really good. And for the film can I just show them me doing drills and throwing a football.
Leave all those excuses behind my man! Even if that is the 100% truth no one is going to want to hear that story about shoulda coulda woulda beens, take ownership for why you didn't play, use it as fuel to get better, and take that and go make a team. Take full accountability and re-write the story you are telling yourself. If you want to be a walk on you have to deal with a ton of people not believing in you, that's just a pre-requisite. You don't need any film at all to show up to an open tryout and make the team either, go check out my other videos where I specifically recommend not sending in your film anyway unless they ask.
clay raterman thank you so much for your support it mean a lot to me thank so much. I’m gonna work hard to make it and ima gonna do whatever it takes. Also thank you so much for telling me another reason to want to do it more.
6’2 190 haven’t played since freshman year of highschool but have always kept active and stayed in good shape. In the military reserves and work out on a decent routinely basis. If I put in the work on footwork drills do I have a chance to walk on for my D1 school. I just want a chance to make the team.
clay raterman do u have to play high school football in order to play college football cuz sadly my school don’t got a high school football team but they pay for our college and I was hoping if there’s a chance if I go to college I can just try out for the football team? Because I’ve been working hard to be a wide receiver and the only thing I want to be when I grow up is to be in the nfl and I love the content btw
I'm not the coach my man! Go find out.....but if you run a 4.3 at the tryout, I'm sure they'll find something for you to do. There's plenty of people who are 5,9 who've made it I'm sure - break your limiting beliefs first
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
You have definitely helped eased my jitters about getting ready to walk on. I spent a year at a good d3 school and had to get my grades right in the fall. Ill be transferring in the spring. Emu, maryland, umass, Tennessee, marshall are my options. Big schools but I know I have the size skill and ability to compete against the starters.

Im 5,7 180 pounds I haven’t played football in 2 years but I can definitely run a 4.4 and have really good agility is there hope I am 20

Yeah as long as you can get enrolled here in the US and make it into school you have the same chance as anyone else that just shows up to a tryout
what if i start playing in college
Crush it at the tryout and look like you know what you're doing and then learn as you go! It's going to be harder but it's not impossible to still add value to a team in some capacity

Yeah that's a great idea - I will touch on that soon!
@@clayraterman hey did you make a video about this?
@@chasejones4752 yes i did!
clay raterman do u have to play high school football in order to play college football cuz sadly my school don’t got a high school football team but they pay for our college and I was hoping if there’s a chance if I go to college I can just try out for the football team? Because I’ve been working hard to be a wide receiver and the only thing I want to be when I grow up is to be in the nfl and I love the content btw
If I can run a 4.3 40 yard dash but I’m only 5,9 would they keep me around?
I'm not the coach my man! Go find out.....but if you run a 4.3 at the tryout, I'm sure they'll find something for you to do. There's plenty of people who are 5,9 who've made it I'm sure - break your limiting beliefs first
clay raterman appreciate it my man
I’m 6’6 350 im walking on to the university of Memphis do you think they will tell me to bench 225 ? I’m not that strong yet.
They can make you stronger, they can't teach size and athleticism - wouldn't worry too much
how tf u 350 and can’t bench 225
@@isaacgotbunnies4l463 because I’m not that experienced with benching
First
My man!!
What if you’re poor asf 😂
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
