re: 2018 Preferred Walk-ons

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.
