Question
hi I'm Kenny i just grad. from high school and i played high school football and i was thinking if i can be a walk on to play football for any college team i don't care i just wanna play what i love to do..

Answer
Kenny, Good Morning!

Yes, you can qualify as a Walk On with many schools.  You need to contact the College of your choice.  They will advise the dates for the Try Outs.  You need to contact Coaches (former) to get into a training program that will condition you for the positions you seek to play.  

If the major colleges do not like your skills, remember that a lot of Junior Colleges have great football programs.  You can start at a JUCO and transfer to the Division I, II, or III level colleges.  Hopefully, you can qualify for the team, as well as academically for the college of your choosing.  


I wish you great success!
