Starter Spring
Is it possible for me to make the university of michigan football team as a walk on for the spring of 2008?
Right now I have been lifting weights, running, and watching running back instructional videos. I plan to make the michigan wovlerines football team in spring of 2008 by then I should be benching 375 squatting 530 and coming in around 215 pound with a 8% bodyfat. Can I make the team that year and be a starter in my 3rd and 4th year of elgibility?
First of all, most answers I've read are wrong. NCAA does not permit a NCAA Football team to hold try outs. So, how do teams work around that. Western Michigan invites their potential walk-ons to play spring ball with them. When they see the players they want they are offered Preferred walk-on status. If there are any roster spots left open then they'll offer those to walk-ons. The hitch, there are never walk-on spots left over!
Michigan selects its walk-ons much differently. They review game film. Those good enough go into the walk-on pool. They wait to see who is accepted. Those potentials who get admitted to the university are reviewed by the coaching staff and walk-on spots are offered to those filling the teams needs. Again...no try out.
Northwestern on the other hand recruits their walk-ons. You have to have a brain to go their, so they won't take anyone!
Best thing to do...get recruited. The recruiting director was Mike DeBord. Send a letter of introduction. Include you GPA, ACT, and SAT scores. If you're not smart enough to attend the university don't plan on getting a reply. With that letter send a highlight reel. No more than 5 minutes, then pray they'll look at it. You have to get their attention and its not easy. Michigan can have pretty much any player they want...you have to make them want you.
How do I know these things. My friends son is a walk-on at Michigan. My son turned down a walk-on at Western Michigan to take one at Northwestern.
I give walk-ons a lot of credit. Most are good enough to start at smaller schools but opt for the quality educations at the better universities.
Oh yea...you want to start right now cause you've already missed Junior Day.
