It's not just an issue of money. Scholarship and walk-on athletes are not treated the same and don't have the same opportunities.

The coaches are not invested in the walk-ons.

Don't know about his offers, but it looks like Tulane, Rice, SMU, etc, were looking at him. If he had offers from these types of schools, he's a fool for walking on anywhere.

According to Rivals, Scout and ESPN, he didn't have any offers. 247 has no profile for him.

Moot point.

Yeah, it shows they were looking at him, but it doesn't look like he had offers from them. If that's the case, and you're going to stay in Louisiana, why not go to LSU. I'm sure walk-on at LSU is better than being a walk on at Tulane or Rice. It's cheaper at least and then he has LSU connections from the football staff to get a cushy job later. Why not?

I'm a family friend, Jon is one of the hardest workers I've seen,
He had aspiration to play in the SEC and I believe he has the tools to contribute at some point.
He had two high ankle sprains and missed 6 games of his senior year which hurt his recruiting
