Is a preferred walk-on the same as a gray-shirt?

As was said above, they are not the same. The gray shirt benefit to the athlete is that it preserves his eligibility (5 yr clock), but it comes at a cost. A grey shirt can't be part of the team and he can't be enrolled full time if he attends college. A walk on will use one year of his eligibility, while a grey shirt will still have 5 to play 4.
