Life of a WALK-ON (WHATS IT LIKE?)

[@austinalbin5320]

A stone video?! It’s gonna be a good day

I love how you talked about being a walk-on D1 athlete. I am currently I walk-on D1 track and field athlete at Grand Canyon University, and I am experiencing similar things to what you have experienced. I love how you mentioned all of the differences between scholarship athletes and walk-one because there are a lot. The coaches definitely treat you differently and it feels like you have to work harder than others to keep your place on the team.

[@StoneyBoi1]

mary martin just the way of the world, keep grinding! It will all pay off I promise

[@515Whitehead]

mary martin it feels like that because you do, literally

[@doccocdoc7549]

can you tell your college to fuck off from my YT ad space

[@harrynichols324]

stone can you please do a video on your workout schedule now / when you was at college? and how training has changed since you’ve left football

[@StoneyBoi1]

Harry Nichols coming right up!!!!

[@grahamriley2596]

I liked this advice, that’s why you should always make the best effort, especially when the odds are against you, there is this saying: Winners always have a program and never give up, the loser always has an excuse and usually gives up when losers fail, which is a life lesson

[@Letstalkabouitpodcast]

Thank you for the motivation I am a freshman linebacker in high school and I really want to get a division-1 offer but I have always been a little nervous I may not, even though I know how hard I work. But this really gave me a lot of motivation, thank you!

[@weabea75]

EAsyH 24 always remember to work and go to camps...camp all you can even it’s free camps

[@MrBarbec]

The walk-on experience varies from program to program. At UCLA the Walk-ons are treated almost equally.

[@StoneyBoi1]

Baraka Beckett good point! I was actually going to say that, imagine what it’s like at Alabama or Clemson!!!

[@willleyland2893]

Walking on to Temple next year as a kicker. This helps so much man!! Thank you!

[@weabea75]

Ash Ketchum good luck

[@esthervictoreah7380]

[@xbenski]

Walking on to Minnesota as an LB. Thank you for the motivation man!

[@JuniorSoprano]

Hows it going ?

[@nicholasallensworth]

I appreciate the video stone because I am a college walk on but for D2 and everything you said is absolutely true and I appreciate all the advice that I didn’t even know already and I hope all is well with you and your family and thank you once again for helping me trust the process again!!!! Much love big bro ✊🙏

[@gaminghq8865]

I remember watching life of a student athlete and have been here ever since

[@sakerspeed173]

Let’s get a video of your life now and after college transition and what your goals are now

[@StoneyBoi1]

SakerSpeed17 not a bad idea!

[@whywhy2055]

I remember when u made the video on how pancakes help u gain weight, so I guess u didn't need to worry to much about breakfast.🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞

[@StoneyBoi1]

Why Why precisely

[@THeAZNBoys1]

I was a walk on a Division 1 school for 3 years and transferred to a division 2 school on a full ride and I can say it was a very rough first 3 years

[@robinpaigeperdue4626]

Preach ! Keep on keeping on

[@ComanderFuzzyBoots]

Sick video bro! Very motivational

[@hankyb7083]

[@SmokefrmDaC]

Been waiting for a video🔥🔥

[@mikeskaggs1890]

Stone I liked your video. It will be a great guide for other athletes.

[@Maurolinus]

Stone you are a dope ass KZbinr man love your content

[@nospiritanimalshere2529]

Motivational stuff, great vid

[@TheSBleeder]

Very dumb question that I thought I already knew the answer to: Do walk-ons dress for every home game, some home games, or no games at all? I played Division 3 ball; everybody is a walk-on (although great HS players might conveniently get a big academic scholarship.

[@mikolasg6115]

You mentioned getting letters from tennessee and others while you were a junior in high school. Were they not scholarship offers and they ended up not wanting you? What other college options did you have to play at? Any lower level scholarship offers but you wanted to play D1 ?

[@StoneyBoi1]

Tennessee was my first letter but it was only to tell me that they were interested and wanted me to attend their scouting camp. After attending (and winning) the camp I found out that they had offered another kid who's brother was currently punting at a large SEC school. I got a few other letters from smaller colleges that wanted me on a partial scholarship. Other than that I went to camps at FAU, FIU, USF, Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, and FSU.

[@geoffgeers6654]

liked the vid. I was on kent st Basketball, we had a walkon, he got to play a lil his jr and sr year

[@lucasmehelich5190]

What do you say to college players who play D3 where there is no athletic scholarships?

[@noahtp]

Hey my name is Noah Pohl and I’m attending James Madison Univ. in the fall. I am trying out to be on the team as a walk on and just wanted to know if you can give any feedback of why a punting tryout looks like? I punted at a D2 college for 2 years and also walked on but earned a scholarship my second year.

[@justinwarren3041]

[@Marcmadness99]

Stone Wilson thanks. I really need this I'm planning on going back to school and Walk-on at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I ain't going to lie it's bit nervous cuz I will be on my own for the First time and Being as Walk on. If you would went to Knoxville you would love it .

[@yousefalsheleh9763]

You should try to go to the xfl, it’s a pretty cool league.

[@davidlee3254]

[@weabea75]

A stone with the headband on it im copping the hoodie in a obscene color lol

[@salmanhaji720]

Hi, do you have any advice for going D1 from outside the US ?

[@StoneyBoi1]

If there is any way you can get film to the coaches thats your best route. Find their email through the directory of athletics program and email the coaches with your film and see if there is any scouting camps.

[@graysonpibal8544]

Were you a preferred walk on or did you just walk on

[@StoneyBoi1]

Grayson Pibal preferred, i probably should have clarified so thanks for asking!!

[@graysonpibal8544]

Stone Wilson thank you for clarifying, I just accepted a pwo to Montana so I was wondering

[@jeremiah7784]

post more, i use to watch u when u were in college

[@whywhy2055]

How come u don't join the XFL

[@D69-n9m]

Are you ever going to play football again

[@josephcheatham7175]

🐐

[@V3yhron]

I don’t know how applicable this is to sports like football but for something like lacrosse where there are completely unrecruited walk-ons trying out frequently, that process is unbelievably miserable. You come in, coaches don’t really communicate well with you. You aren’t told practice times until weeks into the semester when it’s too late to switch classes. You’re given a massive packet of paper work that requires blood tests and clearances but you only have like 3 days to do it. Then once practice starts it’s like everything you said in this video but you also aren’t included in film so they’ll talk about something or call out a play they’ve reviewed in film and you’ll have no idea what’s happening, you aren’t included in any other team workouts, you’re using your own personal gear so you stick out like a sore thumb, you don’t have a locker nor do you have anywhere in the locker room to stash your stuff so you have to carry gear to and from the facility every day, you don’t have access to the facilities outside of practice so you can’t get extra work in, if you have class right after practice you don’t have access to the showers so you pull up smelling like shit and with all your gear, no one on the team acknowledges you outside of practice, and then even if you’re on par with other players you’re first on the chopping block because who wants to send a recruited kid packing when you can send a walk on packing if they’ll have the same impact to the team. It’s like that for weeks until they decide to cut you or keep you around for a bit. Truly one of the most mentally challenging times of my life.

[@StoneyBoi1]

Damn that sounds miserable... Sorry you had to go through that but you definitely hit the nail on the head with how awful the process is.

[@alexdklein]

Why didnt u transfer from FIU?

[@StoneyBoi1]

Alex Klein I wanted to start and earn a spot on a team other than just be on a roster. That was my thought at the time

[@alexdklein]

Love ur videos stone. Thanks for the reply. I’m traveling down to Miami later this week and hoping to stop by FIU. I’m going to check out the campus and the field. Keep ballin man

[@joshuasanders644]

[@tylerryder3814]

What grades do you need for a athletic scholarship?

[@poolsoup6650]

savpeeps depends on how good you are. If you aren’t a star football/basketball player, you should want to be able to get in the school even without sports. 1 because you’d be sure to get in and more likely to get a scholarship 2 you would be able to actually do well in school

[@noahgibson8485]

Hey Stone I hit you up on Instagram. About kicking it would be awesome if you could work with me.
