Anybody know what his major is gonna be?Correct. Immense talent for a preferred walk-on.
This is correct. In fact, if a kid gets an athletic scholarship in any other sport and plays football as a "walk on", he counts as a football scholarship athlete. There is no way around the 85-scholarship limit.I don’t think that’s how it works. If he gets a fully funded academic scholarship he would then count against the scholarship limit. Unless I’m missing something. The preferred walk-on is to be part of the team but your on the hook for the education. (Just like pretty much every other student at tOSU)
If that were the case then Ohio State, Alabama, USC, etc., would be handing out "academic" scholarships like candy to football recruits...This raises an interesting question: Is there any way a school can offer a kid with solid grades a full academic scholarship and then call him a preferred walk on so that he doesn't count against the scholarship limit?
I'm not sure about full academic scholarships, but we've had a partial academic scholarship walk-on at Ohio State. And pretty recently, actually.This raises an interesting question: Is there any way a school can offer a kid with solid grades a full academic scholarship and then call him a preferred walk on so that he doesn't count against the scholarship limit?
