2018 Preferred Walk-ons

If I ever have to care about who the walk ons are preferred or not to be meaningful players then I just quit...start watching bowling and call it a life...

There is a reason they are preferred walk ons.
It means - scout team duty!

It won't happen until the fall rolls around.

As soon as LSU identifies a preferred walk on, the lower level teams usually come scoop them up. There was a RB from PLaquemine recently that was supposed to come to LSU as a preferred walk on and SLU ended up finding some aid for him and he went there instead. He was kind of fringe player that started getting interest late in the recruiting process.

possible a TE/H-Back type in the works

Blake Davis the Punter from Catholic is a candidate

Just noting that the way walkons are... managed... can't think of the right term there, might have changed slightly with the new rules.

My thinking is that with the new rules we will have fewer times we're bumping up against the 85 limit, hence walkons will have a higher chance of being given a scholarship because they can be one of the few exceptions to the yearly 25 limit (if at program for 2 years).

Granted, we're not back a Nebraska type preferred walkon conditions/rules, but this just might bring their "value" up more.
