It'll be interesting to see what kids commit as PWOs. Pateri, the Saline kicker, did commit. Lincoln's Cam Thompson is still very interested. Would likely play slot in college.

PWO is a good deal for FB players.

If the player makes the 2-deep roster he gets a scholarship. If he doesn't at the end of his 2nd year, for example, he could transfer down and see what happens.

If a kid really thinks he was under-recruited and can play FBS ball, he gets the opportunity. PWO has more privileges than a straight walk-on.

To me, it is all about helping the kid find the 'right' level for him. It could be P5, G5, FCS, D-II, D-III, etc.

Do walk ons get cost of attendance and unlimited meals?

Here is some detail:

BTW, someone like Jaron Jackson did not count against the 25 limit as he had been around for a while. (here is the text):

"Finally, preferred walk-ons are in a better place to earn a scholarship but in football it normally does not happen until a player’s junior year. That’s because giving a walk-on a scholarship after his freshman year still uses one of the 25 initial scholarships for that year. A player has to be on the team for two full years before they can get a scholarship and not have it count like an incoming student."
