Smart move on his part. Wouldn’t surprise if he’s heading there as a PWO. Louisville currently has 7 QB on roster and 7 TEs on roster and they have a 4 star QB coming in. I'm sure he saw his offer breakdown at Hillsdale and realized that it would be cheaper for him to go Walk On at Louisville than be on scholarship, especially with him being a really good student.

Hillsdale starting QB and backup are returning. Most likely would’ve been a scout team player up there. He’s better off going to UL and being a scout team player there than Hillsdale.
 

I see him being at Louisville for a year or two and then he’ll enter the portal. 

Congrats!!! Is this a full ride or a preferred walk on situation? Either way it’s great to see! 

Congrats.  Could be a great pickup for the Cards.

I was told ten days ago it was a PWO situation but I can't confirm if it is that or a scholarship.

I would assume it is PWO, which is still a great opportunity. As he gets a chance to go prove himself now every day in front of P5 coaching staff.

I agree and after all the money is handed out I wonder if players end up having to pay for anything, especially at the QB position. 

It’s a PWO. I can confirm. Best of luck to him! I firmly believe he is a D1 talent. Hope to see him get some PT for the Cards next year!

He may have to pay a little bit out of pocket. But it’s prolly way less than Hillsdale.

NIL will take care of him.

I hope so and with so much money in the sport now I would like to see an expansion of available scholarships.

Does NIL pay money to every player on teams including walk ons? As with college football that is a lot of players to pay with how many players are on a college football roster.

Hopefully.  However, the stats show the vast majority of of college football players make next to nothing, and the majority of NIL deals are under a 100 bucks.

Another thing people talk about is the portal. Well over 50% of players who enter the portal never land on another team.  

There's too much bad information out there.

For this current year, I thought they increased the roster limit to 105 and the scholarships to 105? The school has the option to give 105 scholarships though.
