I am looking to walk on to a college football team as a QB. I have made a list of a few schools that I feel that I would have a good chance of competing for the starting job. Which school do you think I could most likely win the starting job at?
NC State
East Carolina
Furman
Cincinnati
Minnesota Twin Cities
Buffalo
Tulane
One more: Central Michigan
Furman.
Were you an invited walk on or are you just a walk on who the coach doesn’t even know?
No offense, but coaches treat uninvited walk-ons like they are losers. If the schools already have a starting QB, then its unlikely you will take their spot.
Div I schools have already awarded athletic scholarships to 2-4 quarterbacks. There is virtually no chance that you’d have a chance.
If you’re 'that good," the coaches would know about you already, and you would have been invited to walk on.
Are you looking for an athletic scholarship?
I am not looking for a athletic scholarship and I will be graduating in 2017, not this year.
Class of 2017 recruits are getting offers and committing already.
Any recruiting interest from any coaches at any collegiate level?
No because I do not have any High School experience at football. I ran cross country and track and only played quarterback for fun.
Forget it. Playing quarterback for fun is nothing like competitive high school level or NCAA football.
I see intramural flag football in your future.
Seriously, if you have never played competitive football you have virtually no chance of walking on anywhere.
If I cannot become a quarterback, with my experience in cross country and track, think I could become a running back?
Any recruiting interest from collegiate track coaches anywhere?
What 100M and 40Y times?
You sound extremely naive.
Playing for fun is nothing like playing real competitive football.
Imagine someone who likes to occasionally jog on their treadmill thinking that he could “walk on” to a Div I Cross Country team?
Yes I do have some interest from track coaches from Siena and Cansisus College. I am not a sprinter, but I am a distance/mid distance runner. The times listed are the fastest times from this year and are decent but not great.
400m: 52 seconds
800m: 2:01
1600m: 4:40
3200m: 9:45
5000m: 16:34
Dog paddle in the local swimming hole doesn’t qualify you for D1 swimming.
If you’re not a sprinter, you have no shot.
Don’t follow college sports much, do you?
What is going on? This is such a strange thread.
What is your interest in playing college football when you’ve never played competitively? Do you just think it “looks like fun” from your living room couch? It is grueling work.
I also don’t think you understand the “body expectations” that college football coaches expect.
You know Cross Country, so why not stick with that? See if you can drum up any more interest besides those two schools. Do you like those schools?
You might be able to get a partial scholarship and you will get preferred admission if you are recruited. You should be able to attend a better school that way. Many excellent schools are D3.

You are a pretty good distance runner. Have you contacted cross country coaches?
