Question
What is the age eligibility for college football walk ons?Would you say A 23 year old sophomore would not be a good candidate for a walk on opportunity?  

Answer
There are no age limits.  If you remember Chris Weinke from Florida State was 28 when he won the Heisman Trophy, so he was older than average college freshman when he started. Every student is given four years of eligibility regardless of age, all you need is to have graduated from High School, a certain number of classes under your belt with a good GPA. Finally have taken the SATs or the ACTs. If your a Sophomore then you should have already be good to go. If you need any more information on eligibility rules check this website out: www.ncaa.org they'll have any info you need. Now the question is do you feel like you can handle being a walk-on?
