exactly what is a "preferred" walk on?
Posted on 2/8/15 at 2:13 pm to LSU GrandDad
Rather than a regular walk on who has to try out and is not guaranteed a roster spot (and many times will not make it), a preferred walk on is almost always guaranteed a roster spot but will not receive a scholarship unless they are eventfully awarded one.

It means the coaching staff wanted him in this class, but didn't have a scholarship available to offer him. Most importantly it means the kid REALLY wants to be at LSU.

thanks. I guess being able to dress out for games means they could be called for duty, esp a kicker or punter in event of injury.

Preferred also are treated like full time team members as well meaning they go through the strength and conditioning program with scholarship kids. I believe. Strange, almost unnecessary rules concerning walk ons.

My understanding of walk on status, having talked to several recently, is one where you are simply a scout team guy and you aren't really expected to last all 4 years. You just do your job until they can get a new guy in. It certainly isn't glorious haha.
