playing college football?

Question

I never played HS football but I love the sport. Is it possible to play college football without playing any HS football? My friend said HS football isn't that big of a deal.

Answer 1

well, obviously you won't get a scholarship at first, but you could always try out as a walk on. But unless you are crazy good and athletic, be prepared to ride the pine for a couple of years.

Answer 2

As a first point, you would need to be enrolled in the school. Beyond that, I am not sure what the rules of the National Junior College Athletic Association are about age. My belief is that they do not have a rule for other sports (I have heard about other NJCAA championships but never about football). What I can tell you is that as Junior Colleges are two-year programs, there is a two-year limit on eligibility for junior college teams in all sports. Those two years count towards the four years that the NCAA allows. It is my understanding that for Division I football, there is a de facto age limit in that, after a certain age, the number of years of eligibility is reduced.

Answer 3

If I were you. I'd find a junior college that has a football program. It increases your chance to play and get experience then its possible to earn a scholarship out of junior college

Answer 4

You'd need to be a GREAT athlete and also at least be familiar with how to play the position that you wanna play. The rest is up to the coaches.

Answer 5

sure it's possible, but you have lost 4 years of learning the game. good luck

Answer 6

Answer 7
