There is no such thing as a preferred walk on.

"A preferred walk-on offer means the coach would like you on the team but can't offer any financial assistance at least for the first year. Preferred walk-ons can earn a scholarship going into their second season, but nothing is guaranteed. Preferred walk-ons arrive at college with a roster spot guaranteed. They get help with admissions. Aid does depend on the sport. They can be cut at any time in camp. While the preferred walk on does not receive athletic scholarship monies, they do receive free gear and uniforms."
