Ell 13. This!
There is a lot of confusion about what a roster spot is. Every year there are a few walk-ons. Nate Fury was one. Ryan May was one. I can't remember if Cotten was one. There is always a "more than full" roster". Every year there is an attrition of players by one way or the other. Nate is now playing pro ball and doing very well. You wonder why a walk-on would even be given opportunity, but Nate is proof that there are those players that might have slipped through the cracks. This year the Episcopal kid tried out as a walk-on and was cut. Any time a walk-on makes the team, there is a casualty.

When he enrolled at LSU he wasn't guaranteed a spot on the team and he is still not getting any scholarship money I think. I know he wasn't his freshman year. By my definition that's a walk on
Your definition means nothing to the NCAA. It is complicated unless you have lived it. Football and baseball are nothing alike. If you get the two confused, you lose.
