A Sea Of Red

Does anyone know when the walk on try outs for football we be held? I thought in the past they were about 2 weeeks after classes opened. My youngest son transferred to LU this semester and is trying to walk on the team.

Call bozlady down at the football office...she should know

I have two friends trying out as well and they've heard that it's in the middle-late Febuary.

Looks like they are this weekend

Didn't have the time to put together a physical video - just sent them some YouTube videos of my highlights from High School. Good thing is that I have 4 years of eligibility left...

For those who care.... he didn't make the squad but i assume he will try out again in the fall. He really wants to play a year with his big brother. Have to wait until August to see if he makes it..

Heard Jimmy Eden is going to try out again.....

Well hopefully he knows what he was lacking and becomes a gym rat! Best wishes. It's tough to accomplish what he is seeking but getting it is worth it.

he is a gym rat. He benches 325 and weighs 180. Big brother benches 435. in his defense he has been out of football for over a year and probably lost some of his agility. He was ok in the drills but looked stiff according to Coach Roberts. He will work on the areas that hurt him and come back strong. thanks for all the support
