Walk-On Info

<p>I didn’t know where to put this topic so since I’m transferring I thought this would fit just fine. So recently, I’ve been doing some research about college walk ons and so fort. This fall I will be transferring to a DII school in south TX. My situation is a little tricky I might say. I’ve been to a 4 year university but didn’t finish and also attended a JC for a semester.I started off at a JC first after HS. I know the rules for your NCAA time table is started as soon as you start taking full time classes but I know with D2 you have 10 full time semesters to play 4 seasons of college sports with a 5th year being as a redshirt. I looked at all my transcripts to see how many times I went full time and it’s not a lot. I went ahead and just got registered with the NCAA clearinghouse.My question is, How do I explain all this to the track coach at the university I’m transferring to? I ran track all 4 years in HS and I’ve kept in shape, haven’t lost my speed much but I would like to try and walk on, Now in no way am I knocking the athletes at the D2 level. The majority of them fly on the track but I know I can also. I feel as if I can still contribute. It’s also been awhile since I graduated too. I was thinking about emailing the head coach and just stating that I’m a interested prospect walk on. I don’t know if that’s the way to go about it. If someone can give me some insight that would be great.</p>
