College football walk-on tryouts...

[jhb07c]

I was curious and wanted to know what a D1 tryout was like? What do they do? How long do they do it? Etc...Anyone that has played D1 or tryed out for a D1 team, what were the tryouts like?

[Affliction88]

Most tryouts consist of: 5-10-5 shuttle, 40 yd. dash, L-Drill, maybe bench test like reps of 185 or 225, then position drills. where are you trying out at

I don't know if i'm gonna tryout but i got to Florida State University. I've been training as if i'm gonna tryout in a year or two and it helps with the motivation and keeps me in the gym.

Just talk to the coach about it....thats the best way to know what to work at. Ask them what their looking for, just call their office and let me them know whats up. It helps to plant your name in their head as well

Well I dunno what D1 is like but I was a walk on for arena and made it, it was corners, L drills, 40, postion drills, and shuttles.

One of my friends tried out for Western Michigan and he said it was basically a CONDITIONING fest.

They started the try outs off with pure conditioning.....He told the me the field was cut in half then the combine style testing began..and hitting, etc.

first post...wow

Well it all depends on if you are a Scholarship player, a ?Preferred? walk on or just a Walk on. And it depends at what level of division 1 it is?

Most of the time the scholarship and ?preferred walk on? do not have to go through all the killer stuff because they have proved themselves to the coaches. The college is spending big money sports and they can?t have 200 guys on the team. So they will have one hell of a 4-10 day workout to weed out all of the guys that just want to be on the team because they want the ring.

Most of the time the workout would be something like 15to20 110?s and then some drills or maybe 2-3 300 yard shuttle run?s for times (make the time or you do more, most dont make it) it all depends on what the coach wants to do.

Thats what my friend told me from Western Michigan try out...The coach basically did conditionig drills to cut the field in half and make people quit.

Nice first post. I'm starting my conditioning now, just doing it lightly so i can still get some muscle mass. I plan on conditioning for about a year and trying to get at about 195-200 before i plan on trying out.

[vanhook]

it sucks, but all teams do it

Yeah pracice ALL the football conditiing drills you know..because you'll definetly be doing them.

[vanhook]

Cool...don't worry about all the conditioning, youre going to hate it and ur probably going to throw up, but if you really want to be on the team just dont stop doing whatever the coach tells you, as long as you keep moving you will make it. trust me everone hates hell week...you hatted it in HS and your going to hate it in college...just maybe a little more

888it does not matter how hard or how much you prepare...its still going to be hard

tried out for a big ten school, we did L-drill, 40, pro agility, position drills, one-on-ones. Took about an hour. Have fun, i ran a 4.41 40 on turf and didnt make it lol wut.

[FSUMuscle07]

Haha NO WAY!!! I'm tryin out for FSU today. Actually in about 3 hours. Last time I watched tryouts they just ran 40s, and then worked on some agility drills.

[FSUMuscle07]

So I guess you didn't do so well on the other drills??

Or that school just have that much speed at their positions already??

[Coolio10]

[PumpTheIron89]

yeah Im thinking about trying out at eastern michigan in like a year or two. Ive been doing a ton of cardio and running. How much weight do think i need to gain. I would like to be a defensive back, im about 160 right now. and i can only do a 4.8 40.

[B3AST]

I would say gain 25+ lbs and run <4.5 40 yard

[ahinesley]

Hey everyone, I have never played football before and I am doing a walk on for a D-1 school here in a few weeks. If anyone can help with a more detailed idea of what to expect that would be great.

Right now I can bench 225 4 sets at 15-20 reps, I run a 15 min 2 mile and am 6'2 240lbs
