Question
If I'm a senior in highschool and played football my freshman and sophomore year but because of some interference my gpa dropped and i wasn't able to play again. But i plan on going to a community college for 2 years and then going to UCF and trying to walk on, obviously after a tremendous amount of training, but should my highschool gpa affect me walking on or getting into UCF or will my 2 community college years only matter ?

Thank you,
JAMES

Answer
James, hello!

You need to talk with the counselor at school.  They will give you the requirements for admission into JUCO and UCF.  If your grades meet the minimum NCAA requirements, you will be eligible to play football!

I've attached some sites for you to review.

Take Care,
