Do colleges have football tryouts?

Answer 1

The answer is, quite simply, that it depends on the school. While most players on the roster are recruited and scholarshipped players, there are occasionally some space for "walk-ons". The quantity of scholarships for the team depends on a lot of factors, but this number is pretty much dictated by the NCAA (NJCAA or NAIA if the college or university isn't an NCAA member institution). The University of South Carolina, for example, got into some trouble at the end of Lou Holtz's tenure as Head Coach (which came under scrutiny by the NCAA just after Steve Spurrier took over), and the result was the loss of a couple of scholarships.

The point of all of this is, simply, that if a school doesn't have enough recruits commit on Signing Day (or later in the Spring), they will often hold some sort of tryouts to fill their remaining scholarship positions. The Athletic Department should have information on any tryouts that may occur.

Answer 2

Good high school players are contacted by colleges and offered scholarships to play football at their college.
