Question
i was home schooled and i wasnt able to play football... i know its best for me to start in d-3 or JC level and i have no complaints about that... but im just curious if the  BIG TIME schools have  walk-on chances for people that havent played... only reason i ask is because i have been told by family members that they would pay but if i have to go to JC before moving on thats also fine with them

Answer
Evan, hello!

Yes, your path is likely best through the JUCO or lower division schools since you do not have any stats or experience.  If you have the talent, one of the larger schools will take notice and invite you to a tryout.  Concentrate on your studies and the football will fall in place.  I wish for you to have the greatest success so stay focused and disciplined.
