2019 Walk-On Class

We camped against Blue Springs South this summer and I was impressed with this kid. He has a great frame and moved well for a big guy.  Would be an awesome PWO.

Hoping Nebraska shows some love to our WR.  He is a 2020 kid who was 6A all state as a Soph.  Kid has interest from Mich, OU, ISU and others.

Zack Westmoreland.   Had 2 picks tonight, 1 for a TD.  Almost returned a punt for a TD, rushed for a TD against a 7 win st Louis school.  Didn't play 4th quarter bc we rolled them.  

Also a state medalist in long jump at over 22 feet at 6'2 205 pounds.  Kid is special.  Not rated by any service yet though.  

 
Im not sure if I just missed it somewhere, but have we looked at James Burks from Burke HS? He just willed Burke to that state championship, seems deserving of at least a preferred walk-on spot. He went for 219 yards on 37/38 carries.

I think he's looking more the college wrestling route

Yea I saw that as well, two time state champion. But from what it looks he doesn't have a ton of offers for that either. If I read the article correctly it said Nebraska wanted him to go to JuCo, for wrestling I assume (wasn't clear) and then take a look at him after two years there.

That's the whole point... they don't get anything.... they get the team gear, basically. So free Adidas clothes. 

Disclaimer: I'm not a big Skutt fan, at all.

I would advocate for giving the Jarod Epperson kid a walk-on immediately after that state championship game. At one point in the second half he had 202 of Skutt's 211 yards. Seems to have the burst and top-end speed that Frost's offense requires.

I was just coming to see if there was anything about Epperson in here!

 
I've followed recruiting for a while and always been confused by the walk-on vocab. 

Are all kids offered a "preferred" walk-on as opposed to just a "regular" walk-on? Or are there actually tiers of walk-ons that kids are being targeted at? 

Maybe somone here has kids/family members that could provide insight.

I don't think there's a big distinction.  Basically "preferred" pretty much means they are recruited to be a walk-on, as far as I can tell.  I think the only "regular" walk-ons would be any that come out of the open tryouts for current students, but I think that is only a couple kids per year.
