re: walking on to LSU

Contact the Athletic Department... via PHONE or in person... not flipping email like someone (hopefully joking) suggested.

Have tape/film available if possible... but if not --- write up a football "resume" to present... i.e. where did you play... any "honors" -- all district, etc.?

Ask YOURSELF some questions:

a. what are my realistic goals?
b. am I willing to work my arse off and NEVER play?
c. was i recruited out of HS... if yes, by what level schools? If no, why not?


For a walk on -- I think you need a clear understanding of your goals, expectations, realistic evaluation of your talent, and understanding of how others (coaches, etc.) view your talent.

Good luck... it's a LOT of thankless work... but if you are special --- you can make it and actually contribute..... that is a long shot though... so be realistic.

good luck man
all my peers and family want me to try out and walk on as a kicker next year, i was an honorable mention for 5A this past year but im not sure if i can do it, my leg strength isnt as good as it can be thats whats holding me back natural leg strength

Give it up Dude. Give it up. If you were any good, you would already be playing somewhere. The saying "the older i get, the better I used to be" rings a bell here. Spend your college days drinking and chasing women. Walk on at first but try to earn a scholarship in bitches.
