Transferring as a walk-on athlete?

I was accepted to a college and am considering being a walk-on D1 varsity athlete. If I wanted to transfer to a highly selective school for my sophomore year, could I get in contact with that school’s coach and use my athlete status to significantly increase my chances of admission as a transfer student?

Thanks in advance!

Each school/sport is different so your best bet is to call the coach directly and talk to them.

My son is also considering participating in D1 varsity sports. He is weighting the time commitment with the time commitment of the major. Might not be enough time in a day.

There may also be NCAA rules about your first school releasing you. Check your contract.

Good luck.
